How Does Acefyl Syrup Work?
Each ingredient works in a different way.
How Acefylline Works
Acefylline is a bronchodilator that widens the airways and makes breathing easier. It stops an enzyme called phosphodiesterase (PDE) from breaking down a substance called cAMP. When cAMP rises, the muscles around the airways relax.
How Diphenhydramine Works
Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine. Your body makes histamine during an allergy, and it causes a runny nose, itching, watery eyes, and sneezing. Diphenhydramine blocks histamine at the H1 receptors, so these symptoms ease.
