Abinofyl SR 200 Tablet contains Acebrophylline in a sustained-release form. It is prescribed to help manage and prevent symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults.
The medicine acts as both a bronchodilator and a mucolytic. It relaxes the muscles around the airways and helps thin sticky mucus, making it easier to breathe and clear the respiratory passages when used regularly as advised by a doctor.
