- COMPOSITION:
Bromhexin hydrochloride
- 4 mg/2 ml in one ampoule;
2 mg in 1 ml solution and
4 mg in 5 ml syrup.
ACTION:
The drug has pronounced mycolytic and secretolytic activity. It has
a soothing effect on cough and a slight emetic action. The mucolytic
effect is associated with depolymerization and splitting of
mucoproteins and mucopolysaccharide fibres. It has no effect on
intestinal peristalsis. It is quickly absorbed in the
gastrointestinal tract and excreted with urine.
INDICATIONS:
All forms of tracheobronchitis; emphysematous bronchitis,
bronchiectasis with inflammatory pulmonary diseases. Prior to and
after surgical interventions with general anesthesia, particularly
in elderly patients.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Hypersensitivity to the drug.
SIDE EFFECTS:
Transitory gastrointestinal disturbances, perspiration. Irritation
with cough is likely to occur during inhalation. The adverse effects
are transient. In single cases, it can induce short-term elevation
of serum transaminase. |
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
Orally: adults - 4 ml of the solution, 3 times daily.
Children from 5 to 10 years - 2 ml 3-4 times daily; under 5 years -
20 drops, 3 times daily. Ten drops can be given to breast-fed
infants, 2-3 times daily.
The treatment usually lasts 3-5 weeks (rarely months) for adults,
being considerably shorter for children.
Parenterally: 1 ampoule 2-3 times daily is prescribed in severe
cases, to be injected s. c., i. m. or i. v., but very slowly (for
2-3 min).
Inhalation: the solution is diluted with distilled water in a ration
of 1: 1 and inhaled: adults, 2 ml 2-3 times daily (with warmed
solution); children, 5-10-20 drops, 1-2 times daily, depending on
age. The inhalation can be combined with oral intake of the
preparation, which can enhance its action.
