bromhexine and Pregnancy

bromhexine has been researched along with Pregnancy in 37 studies

Bromhexine: A mucolytic agent used in the treatment of respiratory disorders associated with viscid or excessive mucus. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p744)
bromhexine : A substituted aniline that is 2,4-dibromoaniline which is substituted at position 6 by a [cyclohexyl(methyl)amino]methyl group. It is used (as the monohydrochloride salt) as a mucolytic for the treatment of respiratory disorders associated with productive cough (i.e. a cough characterised by the production of sputum).

Pregnancy: The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.

"In order to assess the effects of Na 872 infusion on maternal endocrinology during late pregnancy, we measured serum estradiol, estriol, progesterone, human placental lactogen, follicle simulating hormone, prolactin, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, cortisol and insulin before, during and after Na 872 infusion (bromhexine 2 mg/min for one hour) in ten mothers."3.66Maternal hormone levels during Na 872 infusion in late pregnancy. ( Kauppila, AJ; Tuimala, RJ; Viinikka, L; Ylikorkala, O, 1981)
"Ambroxol was significantly more effective than betamethasone in twin births, in infants born before the 31st week, when ROM to delivery time was more than 48 hours, when treatment to delivery time was between 2 and 7 days and in female infants."2.66An alternative to steroids for prevention of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS): multicenter controlled study to compare ambroxol and betamethasone. ( Corbella, E; Lazzarin, A; Luerti, M; Zavattini, G, 1987)
"Ambroxol was administered for a maximum of 5 days - 1000 mg in an infusion solution; betamethasone was injected intramuscularly in 2 daily doses of 8 mg."2.66[Induction of fetal lung maturation using ambroxol and betamethasone. Results of an open multicenter study]. ( Ponnath, H; Wiest, W; Wolff, F, 1987)
"Bromhexine has shown interference in blastocyst attachment, conception, reduction in number of implantation sites and dwarfing of fetuses; hence, it is a potential candidate for antiimplantation."1.33Kinetics of bromhexine-mediated down-regulation of focal adhesive molecules of uterus and trophectoderm affecting conception in the rat.
