Indications
Sputen is used to treat respiratory conditions involving a productive (mucus-producing) cough. These include tracheobronchitis, bronchitis with emphysema, bronchiectasis, bronchitis with bronchospasm, chronic inflammatory lung conditions, and pneumoconiosis.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Bromhexine Hydrochloride is a mucolytic taken by mouth. It breaks down the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres in mucus, making the sputum thinner and easier to cough up. After oral intake, it is absorbed quickly and fully from the gut, and it spreads well throughout the body's tissues.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Use in Pregnancy: Bromhexine should be used with special care during pregnancy, and its potential benefits should be weighed against any possible risk to the unborn child.
Use in Lactation: Bromhexine passes into breast milk, so breastfeeding mothers are advised not to take it.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
