Medicine overview
AB Phylline SR 200 Tablet is a sustained-release oral medicine containing 200 mg of acebrophylline. Despite the supplied product description identifying it as “Theophylline,” Sun Pharma's official Indian product list confirms that AB Phylline SR 200 contains acebrophylline, not theophylline. Acebrophylline is a xanthine-related respiratory medicine with bronchodilator, mucus-regulating, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is used in obstructive airway conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and COPD when prescribed as part of respiratory treatment.
What it is used for
Acebrophylline is used in respiratory diseases where narrowed airways, inflammation, and excessive or difficult-to-clear mucus contribute to breathing symptoms. Clinical literature describes its use in bronchial asthma, chronic or obstructive bronchitis, and COPD. It can help improve mucus clearance and airway function. It is generally used as maintenance or add-on treatment rather than as a rapid-relief medicine for an acute breathing attack.
How it works
Acebrophylline combines the pharmacological properties of ambroxol and theophylline-7-acetic acid within one molecule. It helps regulate airway mucus and promotes pulmonary surfactant activity, making bronchial secretions less viscous and easier for the airways to clear. It also has bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory effects that can reduce airway obstruction and bronchial hyper-responsiveness. These combined actions can improve airflow and mucus clearance in obstructive respiratory disease.
How it is taken
Take AB Phylline SR 200 Tablet by mouth exactly as prescribed. Because this is a sustained-release formulation, the tablet is designed to release acebrophylline gradually rather than all at once. Product-specific instructions concerning whether this particular tablet may be split, crushed, or chewed could not be verified from an official AB Phylline SR 200 prescribing insert, so the sustained-release tablet should not be altered unless the prescriber or product leaflet specifically permits it. Do not change the prescribed dose or frequency without medical advice.
Important warnings
Do not use acebrophylline if there is known hypersensitivity to acebrophylline or related components such as ambroxol, theophylline, or other xanthine derivatives. Published prescribing information for acebrophylline advises particular caution in people with hypertension, heart disease, peptic ulcer disease, severe hypoxemia, or conditions associated with abnormal heart rhythm or blood pressure. Potential interactions have been described with xanthines and sympathomimetic bronchodilators. Seek urgent medical attention for severe difficulty breathing, facial or throat swelling, widespread allergic symptoms, fainting, or a rapid or irregular heartbeat.
Side effects and monitoring
Commonly reported effects of acebrophylline include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort or pain, abdominal distension, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, loss of appetite, dizziness, drowsiness, rash, itching, and urticaria. Less commonly reported effects include headache, insomnia, rapid heartbeat, changes in blood pressure, fatigue, and hypersensitivity reactions; angioedema has also been reported. Severe breathing difficulty, swelling of the face or throat, fainting, or significant heartbeat changes require prompt medical assessment. Any clinical or laboratory monitoring should follow the prescriber's instructions and the patient's underlying respiratory and medical conditions.
Pregnancy
Acebrophylline is not recommended during pregnancy in available prescribing information. If treatment is being considered during pregnancy, the potential benefits and risks should be assessed by the prescribing clinician.
Breastfeeding
The safety of acebrophylline during breastfeeding has not been established in available prescribing information, and its use is generally advised against during lactation unless a clinician determines that treatment is appropriate.
Frequently asked questions
Is AB Phylline SR 200 the same as theophylline?
No. Sun Pharma's official product information identifies AB Phylline SR 200 as acebrophylline 200 mg sustained-release tablets. Acebrophylline is related pharmacologically to xanthines and contains a theophylline-7-acetic-acid component, but it is not the same active ingredient as theophylline.
Is the 200 mg sustained-release tablet the same as a 100 mg immediate-release acebrophylline product?
No. Strength and release formulation affect how a medicine is delivered, so a 200 mg sustained-release tablet should not be treated as interchangeable with a 100 mg formulation. Use the formulation and schedule prescribed for you.
Does acebrophylline replace my rescue inhaler during an asthma attack?
No. Acebrophylline is used as maintenance or add-on treatment for obstructive airway disease and should not be relied on as a rapid-relief medicine during an acute asthma attack.
Does acebrophylline help with mucus as well as airway narrowing?
Yes. Acebrophylline has mucus-regulating and bronchodilator properties. It can reduce mucus viscosity and support mucociliary clearance while also helping improve airflow.
What should I do if I feel very dizzy or faint after taking acebrophylline?
Contact a healthcare professional promptly, particularly if dizziness is severe or accompanied by fainting, an abnormal heartbeat, or low-blood-pressure symptoms. Do not change to another strength or release formulation on your own.
Can AB Phylline SR 200 be used long term?
The appropriate duration depends on the respiratory condition and the prescriber's treatment plan. Do not continue, stop, or change long-term therapy solely because symptoms improve or worsen without discussing this with the clinician managing the condition.
Can Cheap Generic Med ship AB Phylline SR 200 internationally?
Cheap Generic Med serves multiple international destinations, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, Japan, and South Africa. Product-specific availability and destination-country prescription or import requirements still need to be confirmed before ordering.
Will an international AB Phylline SR 200 order have tracking?
Under Cheap Generic Med's standard fulfilment model, tracked international shipping is used and a tracking number should be provided after dispatch. Carrier systems can take 24–72 hours to begin showing movement.
