Composition of Bromhexine Elixir

Uses of Bromhexine Elixir
- Cough
- Chest congestion
- Common cold symptoms
Benefits of Bromhexine Elixir
- In Cough
- Bromhexine Elixir either loosens the mucus so a chesty cough clears it more easily, or settles the reflex behind a dry, tickly cough, depending on the type you have been given.
- In Chest congestion
- Bromhexine Elixir thins thick mucus in the chest so it can be coughed up, easing the heaviness and rattling and helping you breathe more freely.
- In Common cold symptoms
- Bromhexine Elixir relieves the blocked nose, cough and congestion of a cold so you can rest and get on with your day while the infection runs its course.
How Bromhexine Elixir works
Bromhexine loosens and thins the mucus in your airways so a cough clears it more easily, and eases the tightness that comes with congestion.
How to take Bromhexine Elixir
Shake the bottle well before each dose and measure it with the cup, spoon or dropper supplied — a kitchen spoon is not an accurate measure. Take it with or after food. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe drowsiness, a racing heart and, with codeine, dangerously slow breathing. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Bromhexine Elixir
Most side effects of Bromhexine Elixir are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Stomach upset
- Drowsiness
- Tremor
- Fast heartbeat
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Do not give cough and cold preparations to young children except on a doctor's advice. Do not combine two cough preparations — they frequently contain the same ingredients, and the doses add up.
