• Provides relief from productive coughs
• Suitable for both acute and chronic respiratory conditions

How It Works

Bromhexine, the active ingredient in Bromex Elixir Syrup, works by breaking down the chemical bonds in mucus, making it thinner and easier to cough up. This action helps clear the airways, improving breathing and reducing the frequency of coughing.

Dosage

The typical recommended dosage for adults and children over 12 years is 8-16 mg three times daily. For children aged 5-12 years, the dosage is usually 4-8 mg three times daily. Always follow the specific dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider or as indicated on the product label.

Duration of Action

Bromex Elixir Syrup usually begins to work within 30 minutes to an hour after administration. The effects can last for several hours, with optimal results often seen after a few days of consistent use.

Side Effects

While generally well-tolerated, some users may experience mild side effects such as:

• Mild gastrointestinal disturbances
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Skin rash (in rare cases)

If any severe or persistent side effects occur, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Warning

Bromex Elixir Syrup should be used with caution in patients with a history of gastric ulcers. It may increase the risk of gastric irritation in some individuals. Consult your doctor before use if you have any pre-existing medical conditions.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using Bromex Elixir Syrup. While no specific adverse effects have been reported, caution is advised due to limited data on its use during pregnancy and lactation.

Interactions

• May enhance the penetration of antibiotics into bronchial secretions
• Potential interaction with antitussives (cough suppressants)
• Could affect the absorption of certain medications when taken concurrently

Important Information

Bromex Elixir Syrup is most effective when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for respiratory conditions. This may include staying hydrated, using humidifiers, and following proper respiratory hygiene. If symptoms persist or worsen after a few days of use, consult your healthcare provider. This medication may cause a temporary increase in mucus production as it works to clear the airways. Store the syrup in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
