DESCRIPTION:
Bromhexine is a mucolytic-expectorant agent that reduces the viscosity and causes the liquefaction of secretions from the respiratory epithelium by producing the hydrolysis and dissolution of the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres. In this way the secretion is easily eliminated. It also has direct expectorant action.
