About Asthakind Tablet

Asthakind Tablet belongs to the class of medicine called 'expectorant' primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways, thereby preventing respiratory infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: 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 the airways.

Asthakind Tablet is a combination of three drugs, namely Guaiphenesin (expectorant), Terbutaline sulphate (bronchodilator) and Bromhexine hydrochloride (mucolytic agent or cough thinner). Guaiphenesin works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reducing the stickiness of mucus and helping to remove it from the airways. Terbutaline sulphate relaxes muscles and widens the airways. Thereby, it makes breathing easier. Bromhexine hydrochloride works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Thereby, it helps to cough out easily.
