Uses :
- Bromhexine is a drug that aids the body's mucus-clearing processes in the respiratory tract. It is used to relieve chest congestion. The medication belongs to a class of drugs called mucolytics, which break down mucus to make it easier to cough up. As a result, to treat cough, this medication is added to cough syrups.
