Question over 5 years ago

How does Muciday work?

Dr. Chirag Bhingradiya MBBS , Pediatrics

Muciday contains acebrophylline which works by causing widening of bronchial smooth muscles present in the lungs which get tightened causing a constriction. Due to the constriction, the air cannot pass in and out of your lungs, and the relaxation of these bronchial muscles results in dilation of the airways. It also suppresses the body's normal response to stimuli (asthamatic trigger) that causes bronchoconstriction. In this way Muciday helps in managing the symptoms of asthma and COPD.
