Asthaphat Expectorant belongs to the class of medications called expectorants primarily used to treat cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.
Asthaphat Expectorant is a combination of two drugs, namely: Salbutamol (bronchodilator) and Guaifenesin (expectorant). Salbutamol belongs to the class of bronchodilators that relaxes muscles and widens the airways. Thereby, it makes breathing easier. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reduce the stickiness of mucus, and helps to remove it from the airways.

Together Asthaphat Expectorant helps to relieve respiratory obstruction and improve pulmonary ventilation, especially in the conditions of respiratory disorders like asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema. Asthaphat Expectorant minimizes the bronchospasm (sudden narrowing of airways) and excessive secretion of viscous mucus (which blocks airways).

Cough: Coughing is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus, and other matter) from the lungs. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, it indicates you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-colored, it indicates you may have allergies or a minor infection in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection. Cough production is common in asthma, COPD, and other respiratory disorders like bronchitis (airway inflammation and infection).
