COPD is caused by swelling and excess mucus deposition in the airways that carry air in and out of the lungs. Ambronac Tablet loosens thick mucus and helps to cough out.

Avoid smoking and minimise your exposure to pollution, dust and fumes. Along with that, a little exercise each day can help you stay strong. Talk to your doctor about how much exercise is good for you.
