Bromhexine (Tablets, Solution, Drops, Syrup) Instructions for Use

ATC Code

R05CB02 (Bromhexine)

Active Substance

Bromhexine (Rec.INN registered by WHO)

Clinical-Pharmacological Group

Mucolytic and expectorant drug

Pharmacotherapeutic Group

Drugs used for cough and colds; expectorants, excluding combinations with antitussives; mucolytic agents

Pharmacological Action

A mucolytic agent with an expectorant effect.

It reduces the viscosity of bronchial secretions by depolymerizing the acidic polysaccharides contained within it and by stimulating the secretory cells of the bronchial mucosa that produce a secretion containing neutral polysaccharides.

It is believed that Bromhexine promotes the formation of surfactant.

Pharmacokinetics

Bromhexine is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and undergoes intensive metabolism during the first pass through the liver.

Its bioavailability is about 20%.

In healthy patients, the Cmax in plasma is determined after 1 hour.

It is widely distributed in the body tissues. About 85-90% is excreted in the urine, mainly in the form of metabolites.

The metabolite of bromhexine is ambroxol.

The binding of bromhexine to plasma proteins is high. The T1/2 in the terminal phase is about 12 hours.

Bromhexine penetrates the blood-brain barrier. It penetrates the placental barrier in small amounts.

Only small amounts are excreted in the urine with a T1/2 of 6.5 hours.

The clearance of bromhexine or its metabolites may decrease in patients with severe hepatic and renal impairment.

Indications

Diseases of the respiratory tract accompanied by the formation of difficult-to-separate viscous secretions: tracheobronchitis, chronic bronchitis with a broncho-obstructive component, bronchial asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic pneumonia.

Should be used with caution in patients with impaired liver function.

Use in Renal Impairment

Should be used with caution in patients with impaired renal function.

Pediatric Use

Use with caution in children – according to indications, in age-appropriate recommended doses and dosage forms.

Special Precautions

In case of gastric ulcer, as well as with a history of gastric bleeding, Bromhexine should be used under medical supervision.

Use with caution in patients suffering from bronchial asthma.

Bromhexine should not be used simultaneously with medicines containing codeine, as this makes it difficult to cough up liquefied sputum.
