Function

Bromhexine supports the body's own natural mechanisms for clearing mucus from the respiratory tract.
It is secretolytic that is, it increases the production of serous mucus in the respiratory tract and makes the phlegm thinner and less sticky. This contributes to a secretomotoric effect: it helps the cilia - tiny hairs that line the respiratory tract - to transport the phlegm out of the lungs. For this reason it is often added to some antitussive (cough) syrups
