Broncorex Sugar Free Expectorant 50ml Description

Bromhexine is a mucolytic agent, guaifenesin is an expectorant and terbutaline is a bronchodilator. Broncorex expectorant works by thinning, liquefying and loosening the mucus and makes expulsion easy. It also relaxes the airways and makes breathing easier.
