Amoxicillin / Bromhexine
Amoxicillin/Bromhexine is a combination medication pairing an antibiotic with a mucolytic agent to address respiratory infections complicated by excessive or thick mucus. Amoxicillin works to eliminate susceptible bacteria causing the infection, while bromhexine helps break down and clear respiratory secretions.

Treatment of acute and chronic bacterial respiratory tract infections including bronchitis, sinusitis, and pneumonia where excessive or viscous mucus production accompanies the infection. Often prescribed for conditions where cough with phlegm is a prominent symptom.
Amoxicillin, a penicillin-class antibiotic, inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis to eliminate susceptible organisms. Bromhexine, a mucolytic agent, breaks down mucopolysaccharide fibers in bronchial secretions, reducing mucus viscosity and facilitating its clearance from the airways.
Must complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve. Contraindicated in patients with penicillin hypersensitivity. Common side effects include gastrointestinal disturbances and potential allergic reactions. Effectiveness depends on bacterial susceptibility; not effective against viral infections. Should be used under medical supervision only.
