About Fexodin-AM Tablet

Fexodin-AM Tablet is used to prevent asthma and treat allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, congestion, stuffy nose, or watery eyes. Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing.

Fexodin-AM Tablet contains Acebrophylline, Montelukast, and Fexofenadine. Acebrophylline helps thin and loosen phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Montelukast blocks leukotriene action, which causes inflammation (swelling). Fexofenadine blocks the action of histamine, causing allergic reactions.

Some people may experience a skin rash, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and stomach discomfort. Most of these side effects of Fexodin-AM Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

How Fexodin-AM Tablet Works

Fexodin-AM Tablet is a combination of three drugs: acebrophylline (mucolytic), montelukast (leukotriene receptor antagonist), and Fexofenadine hydrochloride (antihistamine). • Acebrophylline is a mucolytic (cough/sputum thinner) agent that helps thin and loosen phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. • Montelukast works by blocking the action of chemicals called leukotrienes that are released from the lungs, causing inflammation (swelling) and increased mucus production in the airways. Thereby reducing inflammation, mucus production, and narrowing in the airways. • Fexofenadine hydrochloride belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that work by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.
