Bromoxol DS Syrup 8 mg/5 ml is a higher-strength mucolytic preparation containing Bromhexine Hydrochloride. It is specifically formulated to provide effective relief from productive cough, chest congestion, and breathing difficulty caused by excessive mucus in the airways.

This double-strength (DS) syrup is commonly prescribed for adults and older children who require a stronger dose to manage persistent respiratory symptoms. By thinning mucus and improving its clearance, Bromoxol DS helps restore normal breathing and reduces discomfort associated with respiratory illnesses.

Composition

Each 5 ml of syrup contains:

• Bromhexine Hydrochloride 8 mg
• Syrup base with suitable flavoring agents

It is intended for oral use and should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional.

Mechanism of Action

Bromhexine Hydrochloride acts as a mucolytic agent, meaning it helps break down thick mucus in the respiratory tract. Its action includes:

• Reducing the viscosity of mucus
• Breaking down mucopolysaccharide fibers in secretions
• Stimulating the production of thinner, less sticky mucus
• Enhancing the activity of cilia to promote mucus clearance

These effects make it easier to expel mucus through coughing, thereby clearing the airways and improving respiratory function.

• Productive cough with thick mucus
• Bronchitis
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
• Asthma (as supportive therapy)
