Broxin Tablet is a combination of three medicines. Bromhexine is a mucolytic medication that thins and loosens mucus in the nose, windpipe and lungs making it easier to cough out. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antiallergic medication that works by blocking the action of histamine, thereby relieving symptoms of allergy. Ephedrine is a sympathomimetic agent that acts as a bronchodilator and decongestant, compressing the blood vessels to keep the airway passage clear for easy breathing.

Drink warm water to help loosen the congestion and lubricate your throat while you are taking this medication. Take exactly as directed by your doctor or on the label. Do not increase the dosage or take for longer than is recommended. In general, most coughs do not last more than 2 weeks. If your cough does last longer than this then it's better to see your doctor. 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.
