Treatment of respiratory conditions such as chronic bronchitis, asthma, and other obstructive airway diseases where both excessive mucus and bronchoconstriction contribute to breathing difficulties.
Bromhexine acts as a mucolytic agent that breaks down and thins mucus in the airways, making it easier to clear. Fenoterol is a beta-2 adrenergic agonist that relaxes the smooth muscles of the bronchial tubes, leading to bronchodilation and improved airflow.
This medication should be used under medical supervision. Common side effects may include tremor, increased heart rate, or throat irritation.
