Bromhexine
Bromhexine thins thick airway mucus so it may be easier to cough up. It does not treat the underlying cause of a persistent cough or replace assessment of breathing difficulty.
Key points
- Bromhexine is intended for cough with thick mucus, not every dry or unexplained cough.
- Persistent cough, asthma, ulcer history, pregnancy and other cough medicines require review.
- Coughing blood, severe breathlessness or a painful blistering rash needs urgent care.

What Bromhexine is used for
It may be used in respiratory tract disorders associated with viscid mucus to help clear secretions. It does not treat bacterial or viral infection itself.
How it works
Bromhexine changes the structure and production of airway mucus, reducing its viscosity and supporting mucus clearance.
Important safety checks
The cause of a prolonged or recurrent cough should be assessed. Stomach-ulcer history, severe liver or kidney disease, pregnancy and use of cough suppressants require review. Stop and obtain advice if a new widespread rash or mucosal sores develop.
When to seek urgent care
Seek urgent help for severe or rapidly worsening breathlessness, blue-grey lips or skin, chest pain, coughing blood, confusion, facial swelling or a painful blistering or peeling rash.
