✔️ Pharmacology

Bromhexine Hydrochloride is a mucolytic agent that is commonly taken orally. It works by disrupting the structure of acid mucopolysaccharide fibers in mucoid sputum, which helps to reduce the viscosity of mucus and promote easier expectoration (coughing up of mucus).

When taken orally, Bromhexine Hydrochloride is rapidly and completely absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. It is then distributed widely throughout the body's tissues, allowing it to exert its mucolytic effects in the respiratory tract.

✔️ Dosage & Administration of Mucolyt Syrup

For adults, the usual dosage of Bromhexine Hydrochloride tablets is 8-16 mg taken three times daily. The syrup formulation is usually taken as 2 to 4 teaspoonfuls three times daily, initially starting with 4 teaspoonfuls three times daily and then adjusting as required.

For children over 10 years of age, the usual dosage of Bromhexine Hydrochloride tablets is 8-16 mg taken three times daily.
