Mechanism of action | Asmazed 50 mg/1.25 mg/2 mg Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Guaifenesin, Terbutaline and Bromhexine which relieve cough with mucus. Guaifenesin is an expectorant which decreases the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens airways.Bromhexine is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Together, they make breathing easier. |
