Introduction About MOKA AD TABLET
MOKA AD TABLET contains Acebrophylline, desloratadine and montelukast that help in improving breathing difficulties associated with various conditions like asthma, hay fever and allergic rhinitis.

How MOKA AD TABLET Works
MOKA AD TABLET contains Acebrophylline, desloratadine and montelukast. Acebrophylline helps in relaxing the muscles of the bronchi thus widening the lumen (bronchodilator) and regulating mucous production and clearance and thus resulting in providing relief from inflammation (anti-inflammatory property) which provides relief from breathing difficulties.
Desloratadine helps to control various allergic reactions and also does not make you feel sleepy and/or drowsy. Montelukast blocks the action of various allergic-producing chemicals in the body (leukotrienes), thus providing relief and improving the symptoms of asthma and/or hay fever and/or seasonal allergies like wheezing and breathing difficulty by managing narrowing and swelling of lung airways. Thus, together these medicines present in MOKA AD TABLET help in improving breathing difficulties associated with various causes.
