How Brodex Syrup works

Ammonium Chloride: Acts as an expectorant by increasing the water content in mucus, making it easier to expel from the respiratory tract. Bromhexine: A mucolytic agent that breaks down thick mucus, making it easier to cough up and clear the airways. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide: A cough suppressant that reduces the urge to cough by acting on the cough center in the brain. Menthol: Provides a cooling and soothing effect on the throat, relieving irritation and making breathing easier.
