Bromhexine Hydrochloride is a mucolytic agent that is taken orally. It causes the structure of acid mucopolysaccharide fibres in mucoid sputum to be disrupted, resulting in less viscous mucus and easier expectoration. The gastrointestinal tract absorbs it quickly and completely. It has a wide distribution throughout the body's tissues.
