Bromhexine hcl 8mg (Vasican)

small, round and green in color ## This is not something available in the US, so I the only information I can find on it is that it is used to help thin sputum, a cold remedy. ## a/k/a: Robitussin, Benadryl see wikipedia ## IT IS NOT THE SAME THING!! ROBITUSSIN AND BENADRYL IN THE UNITED STATES DO NOT CONTAIN BROMHEXINE HCL, WHICH IS AN EXCELLENT MUCOLITIC, NOT PRODUCED FOR THE US. Please see Wikipedia for a Chemical Formula of Bromhexin HCL... It is so sad that US pharmacists push for Robitussin and other products like Guaifenesin, which is a very ineffective mucolitic. And the antihistamines are not always the best answer. And the cough blockers are actually doing more harm than good. It is best to fluidify the mucus and expectorate it.

Bromhexine Hcl 8mg Vasican Pregnancy Safety

Is Bromhexine safe for pregnant women? ## Hi Riza, From what I could gather, Bromhexine is a Category A pregnancy drug; meaning: Adequate and well-controlled studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus in the first trimester of pregnancy (and there is no evidence of risk in later trimesters). "Bromhexine has been taken by a large number of pregnant women and women of child bearing age without any proven increase in the frequency of malformations or other direct or indirect harmful effects on the foetus having been observed." That said I think you should be fine taking it without experiencing any complications. I hope this info helps!
