Additional information for the patient

Some colds and flu may be accompanied by the accumulation of mucus in the respiratory tract. In some cases, this mucus becomes thick and adheres to the walls of the tract.

This explains why in these processes, coughing occurs as a defense mechanism of the body against the appearance of mucus, to expel phlegm and clear the respiratory tract.

Bromhexine liquefies the adhered mucus, detaching it. At the end of the cold or flu, there is a decrease in mucus and, therefore, in the cough necessary to eliminate it.
