Medicine Description quibron-t-sr 300mg
Quibron-T SR is a medication that combines guaifenesin and theophylline to provide a dual mechanism of action. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that works by thinning mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear. Theophylline, on the other hand, is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles around the airways, thereby widening them and facilitating easier breathing. This combination helps to alleviate symptoms associated with respiratory conditions by improving airflow and reducing mucus congestion in the lungs.
