Uses of Mucotune AB Tablet

Benefits of Mucotune AB Tablet

Treatment of Asthma
Mucotune AB Tablet is a combination of two medicines that can help prevent the onset of an asthma attack if it is taken before exercise or exposure to some “triggers”. These “triggers” may include house dust, pollen, pets, and cigarette smoke. This medicine relaxes the muscles of your airways which makes the air easier to get in and out. It will therefore allow you to exercise more freely without worrying about getting symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. This enables you to live your life more freely without worrying so much about things that set off your symptoms.
Treatment of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Mucotune AB Tablet is a combination of two medicines that helps the airways in your lungs stay open. They work by relaxing the muscles of these airways. This makes it easier for air to get in and out. This medicine also loosens thick mucus, making it easier to cough out. It will relieve symptoms such as tightness in your chest, shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing and help you carry out your daily activities more easily. This medicine is safe and effective. It usually starts to work within a few minutes and the effects can last up to several hours. Take it as prescribed by the doctor. Do not stop using it unless you are advised to by your doctor.
Treatment of Pneumonia
Mucotune AB Tablet works by killing bacteria which can cause serious infections. It is used to treat many different types of bacterial infections such as infections of lungs (pneumonia), skin and soft tissues. This medicine usually makes you feel better very quickly but you should continue taking it as prescribed even when you feel better to make sure that all bacteria are killed and do not become resistant.

Quick tips

  • It has a smelly odor. This is normal and does not indicate that the medicine has changed.
