AB-Flo-N Tablet 10’s belongs to the class of drugs called ‘mucolytic agents’ (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to prevent and treat symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing (whistling sound while breathing). COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation in the lining of bronchial tubes).
AB-Flo-N Tablet 10’s is a combination of two drugs, namely: Acebrophylline (mucolytic and bronchodilator) and N-Acetylcysteine (mucolytic agent/sputum thinner). Acebrophylline works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. N-Acetylcysteine works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Together, AB-Flo-N Tablet 10’s helps to cough out easily and makes breathing easier by opening airways.

Medicinal Benefits
AB-Flo-N Tablet 10’s is a combination of two drugs: Acebrophylline and N-Acetylcysteine. Acebrophylline belongs to the class of bronchodilators with additional mucolytic properties and works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. N-Acetylcysteine is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. AB-Flo-N Tablet 10’s breaks down the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres that make the mucus (sputum) thinner and less dense/viscous, thereby helps remove sputum efficiently by coughing. However, the viscosity of sputum remains low for as long as treatment is maintained. Together, AB-Flo-N Tablet 10’s helps to cough out easily and makes breathing easier by opening airways.
