Description
Introduction
Rexom Bromhexine 4mg/5ml Elixir is a mucolytic agent designed to alleviate chest congestion by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways. This facilitates easier expectoration, providing relief from productive coughs associated with respiratory tract infections. Suitable for both adults and children, it typically begins to work within a few minutes, with effects lasting several hours. While generally well-tolerated, some users may experience mild side effects such as nausea, dizziness, or gastrointestinal discomfort, which usually subside as the body adjusts to the medication.
