Pharmacological action
Bromhexine has a mucolytic (secretolytic) and expectorant effect. The mucolytic effect is associated with the depolymerization and liquefaction of mucoprotein and mucopolysaccharide fibers. Bromhexine has a weak antitussive effect. It stimulates the production of endogenous surfactant, which ensures the stability of alveolar cells during respiration. The clinical effect is manifested after 2-5 days from the start of treatment with the drug.
Pharmacokinetics
When taken orally, bromhexine is almost completely absorbed (99%) within 30 minutes. Bioavailability is 20-25% (effect of the first passage through the liver). In plasma, bromhexine firmly binds to 95% proteins, penetrates the blood-brain and placental barriers. In the liver, bromhexine undergoes demethylation and oxidation. The half-life is 15 hours due to slow back diffusion from the tissues. It is excreted by the kidneys. In chronic renal failure, the excretion of bromhexine metabolites is impaired. With repeated use, bromhexine can accumulate.
Indications
Secretolytic therapy of acute and chronic bronchopulmonary diseases accompanied by impaired sputum formation and transport.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to bromhexine and / or to any auxiliary component of the drug, including lactose and sucrose, gastric ulcer and 12 duodenal ulcer in the acute phase, pregnancy (I trimester), lactation, childhood (up to 3 years).
Use during pregnancy and lactation
During pregnancy and lactation, bromhexine is used in cases where the expected benefits to the mother outweigh the potential risk to the fetus or baby.
Special instructions
For gastric ulcer, as well as for indications of a history of gastric bleeding, bromhexine should be used under medical supervision.
Use with caution in patients with bronchial asthma.
Bromhexine is not used concurrently with medicines containing codeine, because this makes it difficult to cough up liquefied sputum.
Used as part of combined herbal preparations with essential oils (including with eucalyptus oil, anise oil, peppermint oil, menthol).

Side effects of the
From the digestive system: dyspeptic symptoms, transient increase in the activity of hepatic transaminases in the blood serum.
From the side of the central nervous system: headache, dizziness.

Bromhexine promotes the penetration of antibiotics (amoxicillin, erythromycin, cephalexin, oxytetracycline), sulfonamide drugs into bronchial secretion in the first 4-5 days of antimicrobial therapy.
Bromhexine is not compatible with alkaline solutions.
