Bromhexine is a mucolytic medication used to relieve respiratory conditions associated with thick and sticky mucus. It works by breaking down mucus structure, making secretions thinner and easier to cough up, which helps improve airway clearance and breathing comfort. Bromhexine is commonly used in the management of conditions such as bronchitis, asthma, and other productive cough disorders. It is generally well tolerated and is often included in cough and cold formulations to support effective mucus removal and respiratory function.
