Bromhexine is a mucolytic with two main pharmacological actions. Its first effect is to stimulate and increase secretion of fluid by the mucus glands of the respiratory tract.

Bromhexine has been shown to increase mucociliary clearance in calves suffering from respiratory disease. Bromhexine increases cell wall permeability so increases IgA and IgG in respiratory tract.
