Benefits
Bromhexine helps thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough out phlegm and clear the chest.

Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush or chew unless advised. Follow the prescribed dosage and duration carefully. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Maintain adequate fluid intake while taking this medicine to help thin mucus effectively.
How it works
Bromhexine is a mucolytic agent that works by breaking down the chemical structure of mucus, making it thinner and less sticky, which helps clear congestion from the airways. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and congestion. Together, they provide dual action relief from both chest and nasal congestion.
