Pharmacology

Bromhexine Hydrochloride is a mucolytic agent that is used orally. It alters the structure of acid mucopolysaccharide fibers in mucoid sputum, resulting in less viscous mucus and better expectoration. The gastrointestinal tract absorbs it quickly and fully. It has a broad distribution throughout the body's tissues.
