BRONCOHEXAL 100 mg powder for oral solution
BRONCOHEXAL 200 mg powder for oral solution
acetylcysteine
WHAT IT IS
Broncohexal contains acetylcysteine. Acetylcysteine belongs to a group of medicines called
mucolytics. These medicines work by thinning bronchial secretions (mucus).
WHY IT IS USED
Broncohexal is used for the treatment of acute respiratory conditions characterized by
dense and viscous (mucus) hypersecretion.
WHEN IT MUST NOT BE USED
Hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or to any of the excipients.
Active peptic ulcer
Broncohexal is contraindicated in children under the age of 2 years.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Mucolytics can induce bronchial obstruction in children under the age of 2 years. In fact, the
ability to drain bronchial mucus is limited in this age group, due to the
physiological characteristics of the respiratory tract. They should therefore not be used in children
under 2 years of age.
Much care must be taken during use in patients with bronchial asthma and in
patients with a history of ulcers; if bronchospasm occurs, treatment should be
immediately discontinued.
The administration of acetylcysteine, at the beginning of treatment, can thin the secretions
bronchial and increase the volume at the same time; if the patient is unable to expectorate in
effectively, to avoid retention of secretions, postural drainage and
bronchoaspiration should be used.
Very rarely, the onset of severe skin reactions, such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Lyell's syndrome, has been reported in association with the use of acetylcysteine. If skin and mucosal changes occur, consult a doctor immediately and stop using
acetylcysteine.
The possible presence of a sulfurous odor does not indicate alteration of the preparation, but is its own
active ingredient contained therein.
WHICH MEDICINES OR FOODS CAN MODIFY THE EFFECT OF THE MEDICINE
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other
medicine, including those available over the counter.
The combined use of acetylcysteine with antitussives (cough suppressants) can cause a dangerous
secretory congestion due to the reduction of the cough reflex, to the point that, for this
combination treatment, a particularly accurate diagnosis is necessary.
To date, reports of inactivation of antibiotics (tetracyclines, aminoglycosides,
penicillins) due to acetylcysteine refer exclusively to in vitro experiments, in which the
substances in question were mixed directly. However, for safety reasons, the
oral antibiotics must be administered separately and at least 2 hours apart. This
does not apply to cefixime and loracarbef.
The co-administration of acetylcysteine can result in an increase in the vasodilating effects of
nitroglycerin. Caution is advised.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT
What to do during pregnancy and breastfeeding
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.
Pregnancy
Since adequate experience on the use of acetylcysteine in pregnant women is not available,
Broncohexal should be used during pregnancy only if the doctor deems it
absolutely necessary.
Breastfeeding
No information is available regarding the excretion of acetylcysteine in breast milk.
Broncohexal should be used during breastfeeding only if the doctor deems it absolutely
necessary..

pregnant.
