| SOLUBILITY |
: |
In aqueous systems bromhexine hydrochloride (Br-HCl) has a poor solubility (4.54 mg/g) and displays no amphiphilic character e.g. self association. Therefore the drug is molecularly dispersed in water until the solubility product of Br-HCl is exceeded |
| USED |
: |
Bromhexine is a drug that aids the body’s mucus-clearing processes in the respiratory tract. It is used to relieve chest congestion. The medication belongs to a class of drugs called mucolytics, which break down mucus to make it easier to cough up. As a result, to treat cough, this medication is added to cough syrups. |
