COVENT-KID contains the salts:
Terbutaline:
Terbutaline is used to treat wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness caused by asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD; a group of lung diseases that includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema). It may also be used in premature labor.
How it works?
Terbutaline belongs to a class of medications called beta agonists. It works by relaxing and opening the airways, making it easier to breathe.
Acebrophylline:
Acebrophylline is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Patients suffering from these diseases may have symptoms of inflammation of lungs which leads to mucus production, cough, difficulty in breathing, tightness in chest etc.
How it works?
Acebrophylline, a xanthine derivative, belongs to a class of medication called bronchodilators. It blocks the intracellular enzyme (phosphodiesterases) followed by increase in level of messenger known as cyclic adenosine monophosphate, which promotes relaxation of bronchial muscles. It inhibits the release of certain inflammatory chemicals (leukotrienes, tumor necrosis factor etc) in the lungs thereby reducing inflammation. It also reduces thickness of the mucus, thus making it easy for the patient to clear the mucus load.
Guaifenesin:
Guaifenesin is used to relieve cough and chest congestion.
How it works?
Guaifenesin belongs to a class of agents called expectorants. It works by thinning the mucus in the air passages to make it easier to cough up the mucus and clear the airways.
