Alternative for Acebrophylin for Asthma
My grandfather takes Montek AB (Acebrophylin 200 MG + Montelukast 10 MG ) for last 3-4 years. He takes Montek AB at night every day . But in the morning he faces little bit cough which comes out of his mouth. At other time of the day, he occassionally faces the cough problem. Apart from that he faces breathing difficulty in winter. I want to know whether Montek AB can be continued for longer period of time in future as well ? Does Acebrophylin cause any harmful effect to heart ? If yes, then what will be the alternative ? Can N Acetylcystine be used as an alternative ? Or both N Acetylcystine and Acebrophylin work in almost similar way by thinning the mucas layer , thus facilities breathing.
