Besvil 100 Octacaps Capsule 30's

Besvil 100 Octacaps Capsule belongs to the class of medicines called respiratory stimulants. It treats asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Asthma is a severe long-term health condition occurring due to the narrowing and swelling of the bronchial airways in the lungs, thus causing difficulty in breathing. Symptoms may include shortness of breath or wheezing (whistling sound while breathing). COPD is a group of long-term lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes) causing restricted airways. Besvil 100 Octacaps Capsule helps reduce symptoms of asthma and COPD.
