Asmazed 50 mg/1.25 mg/2 mg Tablet

Asmazed 50 mg/1.25 mg/2 mg Tablet belongs to the class of medicine called 'expectorant' primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways, thereby preventing respiratory infection. Cough is two types, dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough means it's tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.

Asmazed 50 mg/1.25 mg/2 mg Tablet is a combination of three drugs, namely Guaifenesin (expectorant), Terbutaline (bronchodilator) and Bromhexine (mucolytic agent or cough thinner). Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reducing the stickiness of mucus and helping to remove it from the airways. Terbutaline belongs to the class of bronchodilators that relaxes muscles and widens the airways. Thereby, it makes breathing easier. Bromhexine belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe and nose. Thus, it helps cough out easily.

Cough: Coughing is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus and other matter) from the lungs. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of disease in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, it indicates you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-coloured, it means you may have allergies or minor illness in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
