Bromheksine contains the active substance bromhexine hydrochloride, which is a mucolytic medicine used in the treatment of respiratory disorders, when they are associated with viscous or excessive mucus. It helps to expectorate tracheobronchial secretions and to decrease the viscosity of these secretions, which leads in improved breathing.
Bromheksine is used for:
• fluidizing the secretions of the respiratory tract in cases of acute or chronic bronchopulmonary diseases like: bronchitis, emphysema, tracheobronchitis and chronic asthmatic bronchitis;
• preventing respiratory complications after surgical chest interventions;
• accelerating the expectoration of foreign endobronchial substances (contrast means used in radiology).
