Drug Levels and Effects
Summary of Use during Lactation
Bromhexine is not approved for marketing in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration but is available in other countries. No information is available on the use of bromhexine during breastfeeding. Because it is about 95% protein bound, the amounts in milk are likely to be low. If a mother requires bromhexine, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding; however, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
