How It Works
Broncholyte Syrup’s active ingredient, Bromhexine, functions as a potent mucolytic agent. It works by breaking down thick, sticky mucus in the airways, making it thinner and easier to expel. This action helps clear the respiratory tract, reducing congestion, and facilitating easier breathing across a spectrum of respiratory conditions.
