Quicnac AB Tablet

Quicnac AB Tablet contains Acebrophylline (100mg) and Acetylcysteine (600mg), a combination medicine used to treat respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, asthma, and other lung disorders associated with thick mucus and breathing difficulty. Acebrophylline acts as a bronchodilator and mucoregulator, relaxing airway muscles and reducing mucus thickness. Acetylcysteine works as a mucolytic, breaking down mucus structure, making it thinner and easier to expel. Together, they improve airflow, reduce cough frequency, and help clear mucus from the lungs, providing relief from congestion and breathing discomfort.

Not everyone taking Quicnac AB Tablet will experience side effects, but some may notice nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, dizziness, headache, or mild skin rash during treatment. These effects are generally mild and improve as the body adjusts. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, medical advice should be sought. The medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor, preferably after meals to reduce stomach irritation. Tablets should be swallowed whole with water and not crushed or chewed. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the severity of the respiratory condition and the patient’s medical history.

Avoid Quicnac AB Tablet if allergic to Acebrophylline, Acetylcysteine, or any of its components. Patients with active stomach ulcers, severe liver or kidney problems, low blood pressure, or certain heart conditions should inform their doctor before use. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should take it only if prescribed by a healthcare professional. Alcohol intake should be limited, as it may increase side effects like dizziness or stomach irritation. For best results, combine medication with breathing exercises, physiotherapy, and avoidance of smoking or environmental pollutants.
