Pharmacology: Mechanism of Action: Bromhexine HCl is a mucolytic expectorant whose action is to stimulate the mucous glands to produce a secretion which is less viscid and has a reduced content of acid glycoprotein fibres.
Pharmacokinetics: Bromhexine HCl is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and about 85% to 90% of a dose is excreted in the urine mainly as metabolites. Ambroxol is a metabolite of bromhexine. Bromhexine is highly bound to plasma proteins.
