Pharmacology

Bromhexine Hydrochloride is an orally administered mucolytic agent. It changes the structure of acid mucopolysaccharide fibers in mucoid sputum, which results in less viscous mucus and improved expectoration. It is quickly and completely absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. It is widely distributed throughout the body's tissues.
