Bromhexine contains the active ingredient bromhexine which belongs to a group of medicines called mucolytic agents which are used in conditions where breathing is difficult because there are a lot of secretions (also referred to as mucus) in your air passages. Bromhexine facilitates expectoration and effectively reduces cough. Moreover, this medicine functions by thinning your mucus and enhancing the secretion of mucus from the respiratory tract, specifically in cases of acute and chronic diseases affecting the bronchi and lungs, where there are disruptions in the excretion and transmission of mucus.
