INDICATIONS:
Bromohexine is suitable for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and bronchiectasis. Especially when the phlegm obstructs the small bronchi and causes shortness of breath and asthma, it can be taken orally, inhaled or instilled into the trachea.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Bromhexine syrup is contra-indicated in patients with hypersensitivity to known sympathomimetic amines or any of the other ingredients; hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, and tachyarrhythmia.
