Kuff X Tablet Description
Kuff X Tablet is a medication that is used in the treatment of wet, productive cough, which is associated with acute and chronic bronchitis, asthma, and other bronchopulmonary disorders which are ass
ociated with mucous plugging, expectoration, and bronchospasm which includes chest tightness, wheezing, and trouble breathing. It is a combination medication that consists of the active ingredients Bromhexine and Terbutaline. Kuff X Tablet works as a bronchodilator in conditions such as bronchial asthma and reversible airway obstruction. Terbutaline belongs to the bronchodilator, which works by relaxing the muscles which are around the bronchioles in the lungs and helps in opening up the bronchioles, which help in the easy passage of air in and out of the lungs. It is also very useful in treating contractions or spasms of the bronchioles, which are seen in asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema. Bromhexine belongs to the class of mucolytic agents, which is used to treat the wide variety of respiratory disorders associated with excess mucus or phlegm; it works by making the mucus thinner by subsequently breaking the mucus and increasing the production of mucus and making it easier to cough out. Acute bronchitis is a contagious viral infection that causes inflammation in the bronchial tubes, which help to carry air into the lungs. Chronic bronchitis is the condition where we can see chronic cough and sputum production is more.
