Bromhexine description
Bromhexine is a medication that contains the active ingredient bromhexine, belonging to a group of medicines called mucolytic agents. These agents are used to alleviate breathing difficulties caused by excessive mucus in the air passages. Bromhexine helps with expectoration and effectively reduces coughing. It works by thinning mucus and enhancing its secretion from the respiratory tract, particularly in cases of acute and chronic diseases affecting the bronchi and lungs, where there are disruptions in mucus excretion and flow.
