Frequently asked Questions about Monokast Ab

Question about 6 years ago

How does Monokast AB work?

Dr. Chirag Bhingradiya MBBS , Pediatrics

Monokast AB contains acebrophylline which works by causing widening of bronchial smooth muscles present in the lungs which get tightened causing a constriction. Due to the constriction, the air cannot pass in and out of your lungs, and the relaxation of these bronchial muscles results in dilation of the airways. It also suppresses the body's normal response to stimuli (asthamatic trigger) that causes bronchoconstriction. In this way Monokast AB helps in managing the symptoms of asthma and COPD.
