Bromhexine hydrochloride is a mucolytic expectorant that not only dissolves viscous sputum but also reduces its viscosity, thereby facilitating expectoration and maintaining airway patency. Clinically, it is primarily used for conditions such as bronchitis, asthma, and emphysema, in which thick, sticky sputum is difficult to expel.
Currently, the main dosage forms of bromhexine hydrochloride available on the domestic market are injections and tablets, with injections—including bromhexine hydrochloride glucose injection, injectable bromhexine hydrochloride, and bromhexine hydrochloride injection—being more widely used. Shijiazhuang Sihua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has obtained the production registration approval for bromhexine hydrochloride glucose injection (100 mL: 4 mg of bromhexine hydrochloride and 5 g of glucose; trade name: Saiwei), and the product has enjoyed strong market acceptance since its launch several years ago.
