bromhexine and Silicosis

bromhexine has been researched along with Silicosis in 2 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).

Silicosis: A form of pneumoconiosis resulting from inhalation of dust containing crystalline form of SILICON DIOXIDE, usually in the form of quartz. Amorphous silica is relatively nontoxic.

"The clinical activity of trans-4-[(2-amino-3,5-dibromo-benzyl)-amino]-cyclohexanol-hydrochloride (ambroxol, NA 872) as well as its influence on lung function was examined in a total of 63 patients (34 suffering from silicosis, 28 from chronic obstructive bronchitis and 1 from cryptococcosis)."3.66[Therapeutic study on ambroxol in chronic bronchopulmonary diseases (author's transl)].
