Benefits of Bromhexine + Salbutamol + Theophylline
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a group of lung diseases that
cause breathing difficulties. COPD is caused by swelling of the airways that
carry air in and out of the lungs. Bromhexine + Salbutamol + Theophylline relaxes the muscles of these
airways and widens it. It also gives relief from congestion or stuffiness by
loosening mucus and helping to cough out. This makes you breathe easy and
gives relief from symptoms such as tightness in your chest, shortness of
breath, wheezing and coughing. Avoid smoking and minimise your exposure to
pollution, dust and fumes. Along with that, a little exercise each day can
help you stay strong. Talk to your doctor about how much exercise is good for
you.
