611-75-6 BROMHEXINE HCL price CAS NO.611-75-6

Bromhexine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of bromhexine, a secretolytic, with mucolytic activity. Upon administration, bromhexine increases lysosomal activity and enhances hydrolysis of acid mucopolysaccharide polymers in the respiratory tract. This increases the production of serous mucus in the respiratory tract, which makes the phlegm thinner and decreases mucus viscosity. This contributes to its secretomotoric effect, and allows the cilia to more easily transport the phlegm out of the lungs. This clears mucus from the respiratory tract and may aid in the treatment of respiratory disorders associated with abnormal viscid mucus, excessive mucus secretion and impaired mucus transport.

Bromhexine hydrochloride is a mucolytic agent that exerts both a secretagogic action on submucosal glands and a mucolytic action toward acid glycoproteins inside cells.

Bromhexine hydrochloride is a medication prescribed for coughs which works by dissolving hard phlegm. This tends to be given to those with respiratory diseases who have difficulty coughing this out otherwise - by breaking it down it becomes smaller and easier to expel and this means they can breathe without their airways being blocked while also providing cough relief. It is preferable to some cough medication as it does not include any sedatives which can otherwise make those using the medication drowsy. At the same time many other cough medicines simply sooth the throat without actually breaking down the phlegm.

Bromhexine hydrochloride is a hydrochloride resulting from the reaction of equimolar amounts of bromhexine and hydrogen chloride. It is used as a mucolytic for the treatment of respiratory disorders associated with productive cough (i.e. a cough characterised by the production of sputum). It has a role as a mucolytic. It contains a bromhexine(1+).
