Bromhexine

Tablets containing bromhexine hydrochloride What exactly is bromhexine? Bromhexine is a treatment for coughs that is sold by the company Healthypharm. It is simpler to cough up secretions because the active component bromhexine is an expectorant, which works by breaking up mucus in the chest and making it easier to cough it up. It is not recommended to use bromhexine cough syrup for coughs that are tickly or dry. Bromhexine is offered in a variety of dosage levels, and it can be administered to both adults and children older than two years of age. For what purpose is it being used?

After around five hours, bromhexine begins to have its impact. Coughs that come from deep inside the chest can be treated with this medication if they are brought on by conditions such as the common cold, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or cystic fibrosis (CF).
