About Molyone AF Tablet 10's

Molyone AF Tablet 10's is used to prevent asthma and treat allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, congestion, stuffy nose, or watery eyes. Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. An allergy is a condition that occurs when the immune system reacts to a foreign substance that is typically not harmful to your body. These foreign substances are known as ‘allergens.’

Molyone AF Tablet 10's is a combination of three drugs: Acebrophylline (mucolytic), Montelukast (leukotriene receptor antagonist), and Fexofenadine hydrochloride (antihistamine). Acebrophylline is a mucolytic (cough/sputum thinner) agent that helps thin and loosen phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Montelukast works by blocking the action of chemicals called leukotrienes that are released from the lungs, causing inflammation (swelling) and increased mucus production in the airways. Thereby reducing inflammation, mucus production, and narrowing in the airways. Fexofenadine hydrochloride belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that work by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  

Take Molyone AF Tablet 10's as prescribed. Your doctor will decide the dose and the duration of Molyone AF Tablet 10's use based on your medical condition. Some people may experience a skin rash, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and stomach discomfort. Most of these side effects of Molyone AF Tablet 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. 

If you are known to be allergic to Molyone AF Tablet 10's or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Molyone AF Tablet 10's. Molyone AF Tablet 10's is not recommended for children unless advised by a doctor. Avoid alcohol consumption with Molyone AF Tablet 10's as it may increase drowsiness. Drive only if you are alert, as Molyone AF Tablet 10's may cause drowsiness or dizziness in some people. It is advised to maintain a 2-hour gap between taking Molyone AF Tablet 10's and indigestion remedies containing magnesium and aluminium, as taking these medicines simultaneously may reduce the absorption of Molyone AF Tablet 10's.
