What is Bromhexine? Active Ingredient and How It Works
Bromhexine tablets contain bromhexine hydrochloride, a mucolytic agent that works by thinning mucus and enhancing its secretion from the respiratory tract. By facilitating expectoration and reducing cough, Bromhexine helps relieve breathing difficulties caused by viscid or excessive mucus in the air passages.
Bromhexine Indications
Bromhexine is used in conditions where breathing is difficult due to excessive or viscid mucus, including:
- Acute bronchitis
- Chronic bronchitis
- Other acute and chronic diseases of the bronchi and lungs where there are disruptions in the excretion and transmission of mucus
Who Should Not Take Bromhexine?
Bromhexine is not suitable for everyone. Do not use it:
- If you are allergic to bromhexine or any other ingredient in this medicine
- If you are pregnant, likely to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- If you have a rare hereditary disease incompatible with any of the excipients
- In children under 6 years of age
Tell your doctor if you or your child have had a stomach ulcer, if coughing difficulties last longer or are often repeated, or if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Bromhexine may interact with other medicines — tell your doctor about all medications and herbal supplements you are taking. See the package leaflet for the complete list of contraindications and warnings.
