Bromeph 8mg/4mg/15mg Tablet is a combination of three medicines. Bromhexine is a mucolytic medication. It thins and loosens mucus (phlegm) in the nose, windpipe and lungs making it easier to cough out. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antiallergic medication. When your body is exposed to an allergen (pollen, animal dander, house dust, etc.) it produces a chemical called histamine. This causes watery eyes, runny or blocked nose, sneezing, skin rashes, itching, etc. It works by blocking the action of histamine, thereby relieving these symptoms of allergy. Ephedrine is a sympathomimetic agent. It acts as a bronchodilator and decongestant. It works by compressing the blood vessels to keep the airway passage (trachea, bronchus, and bronchioles) clear for easy breathing.

Take exactly as directed by your doctor or on the label. Do not increase the dosage or take for longer than is recommended. Drink warm water to help loosen the congestion and lubricate your throat while you are taking this medication. Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers or asthma. Inform your doctor if you have heart problems, high blood pressure or diabetes.
