Bromhexine HCL BP
Whatsapp Order
Bromhexine HCL BP is a synthetic mucolytic agent, commonly used as an expectorant to treat respiratory disorders associated with excessive mucus. It appears as a white or slightly yellow crystalline powder that is soluble in water and alcohol. Bromhexine works by breaking down the structure of mucus, reducing its viscosity and facilitating easier expectoration. It is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations such as tablets, syrups, and injectables for respiratory conditions like bronchitis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
