Description
How does it work?
- Bromhexine acts as a mucolytic, meaning it reduces the thickness of mucus, making it thinner and easier to clear.
Main indications :
- Productive cough: associated with infections (flu) or chronic diseases (chronic bronchitis, COPD, cystic fibrosis).
- Sinusitis: (inflammation of the sinuses).
- Some cases of dry eyes (Sjögren’s syndrome).
Key points :
- Not for dry cough: It is ineffective and not recommended for dry cough.
- Be careful with other syrups: Do not use other cough syrups at the same time without medical advice, as they may interfere.
- Duration of use: No prolonged use without medical advice.
- Children: Generally not recommended for children under 2 years old.
In summary: Bromhexine syrup is a useful treatment for clearing the airways during a productive cough, but it is essential to consult a doctor for appropriate use.
