Bromhexine is a mucus-thinning medicine for chesty coughs; PockDose lists plain 8mg tablets and Bro-Zedex Syrup, a 100ml bottle that adds guaifenesin, menthol and terbutaline.
Bromhexine, Guaifenesin, Menthol, Terbutaline
100ml
Bro-Zedex Syrup is a 100ml liquid cough medicine combining bromhexine, guaifenesin, menthol and terbutaline, used for chesty coughs, bronchitis and wheezing.
Bromhexine
8mg
Bromhexine 8mg tablets thin and loosen sticky mucus so a chesty cough can clear it, for excess mucus and chest congestion; plain generic tablets in large packs.
Bromhexine is a mucolytic, which means it changes the mucus rather than the cough. Chest infections and long-term chest conditions make the mucus in the bronchial tubes thick and sticky, and the tiny hair-like cilia that normally sweep it upward cannot shift it. Bromhexine, a synthetic relative of vasicine (a compound from the Malabar nut plant, Adhatoda vasica), breaks up the thick strands in that mucus and makes the airway glands produce thinner, more watery secretions. The cough that follows is easier and brings up more.
Productive cough is the main reason: bronchitis, the chesty stage of a cold or flu, and long-term lung conditions with a lot of phlegm. It is a medicine for the symptom, usually taken for a few days to a week. It is not a cough suppressant, and it is not an antibiotic.
For bromhexine on its own, Bromhexine is the 8mg tablet, a single-ingredient listing for adults.
Bro-Zedex Syrup is a 100ml bottle with four ingredients: bromhexine to thin the mucus, guaifenesin, an expectorant, menthol for a cooling, soothing feel in the throat, and terbutaline, which relaxes the airway muscle. It is the listing for a productive cough with bronchitis or wheezing, where opening the airways matters as well as loosening mucus. Terbutaline can cause trembling and a fast heartbeat, and beta-blocker tablets work against it.
A cough that is all thick, stubborn phlegm needs only the plain tablet. A chest that wheezes as well points to the syrup. Meals make no difference to either. The tablet is spaced about 8 hours apart; the syrup is measured with the cup or spoon in the box.
Bromhexine increases how much of certain antibiotics, among them amoxicillin, erythromycin and doxycycline, reaches lung tissue and phlegm. A cough suppressant such as codeine works against it, because it removes the cough that clears the loosened mucus. Nausea, an upset stomach and diarrhoea are the usual side effects; a history of stomach ulcers calls for extra care. Rash, facial swelling, breathlessness or blistering of the skin or mouth mean stopping it and getting urgent help.
Bromhexine can be ordered online with delivery to Hong Kong. The page carries plain Bromhexine tablets at 8mg and the named version Bro-Zedex Syrup, a 100ml bottle combining bromhexine with guaifenesin, menthol and terbutaline. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard or American Express on a secure, encrypted payment page, or by Bitcoin or Ethereum.
Each of the two bromhexine products has its own price per pack, shown on its page in HKD or your selected currency; larger packs usually cost less per unit.
PockDose does not ask you to upload a prescription when you order bromhexine. See the ordering FAQ for details.
Bromhexine is sold under brand names including Bisolvon. Here, bromhexine can be bought online as bromhexine tablets. These are generics, not the original brand.
Bisolvon is the best-known brand name for bromhexine. The tablets on this site are generic bromhexine 8mg, the same ingredient without the Bisolvon brand name, sold as a plain, single-ingredient tablet.
Terbutaline is a bronchodilator: it relaxes the muscle around the airways so they open. In Bro-Zedex Syrup it covers the wheezing side of a chesty cough, alongside bromhexine and guaifenesin that deal with the mucus.
Yes, they are commonly taken together. Bromhexine raises the amount of antibiotics such as amoxicillin, erythromycin and doxycycline that reaches lung secretions, which is why the two are often paired for chest infections.
