About Alastin-AM Tablet 10's

Alastin-AM Tablet 10's is a combination drug containing 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to treat cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. 

Alastin-AM Tablet 10's contains Ambroxol and Loratadine. Ambroxol works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. It also breaks down the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres that make the mucous (sputum) thinner and less dense/viscous, removing sputum efficiently by coughing. However, the viscosity of sputum remains low for as long as treatment is maintained. Loratadine acts by blocking histamine's action (chemicals causing allergic symptoms) and reducing the allergic reaction. It provides quick relief from allergic symptoms. 

Take Alastin-AM Tablet 10's as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Alastin-AM Tablet 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition.

Most of these side effects of Alastin-AM Tablet 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
