How to use

Oral syrup. Take as prescribed by the doctor; measure with a calibrated cup/spoon. Can be taken with or without food; drink plenty of fluids to help loosen mucus. Do not exceed the recommended dose.

How it works

Bromhexine is a mucolytic/expectorant that thins and loosens thick bronchial secretions by depolymerizing mucopolysaccharide fibers. This reduces sputum viscosity and improves mucociliary clearance, making it easier to cough out phlegm.
