Medicine Description avichest 375mg
Avichest 375 mg capsule is a medication that contains carbocisteine, which acts as a mucolytic agent. It works by breaking down the molecular structure of mucus, reducing its viscosity. This alteration facilitates easier expectoration, meaning patients can cough up the mucus more effectively. By enhancing mucus clearance, carbocisteine helps restore the natural elasticity of the bronchial tubes, improving airflow and reducing obstruction in the airways. Additionally, it may help reduce inflammation within the respiratory tract, further aiding in symptom relief.
