Simple, rapid, accurate, precise, reliable and economical thin layer chromatographic and spectrophotometric methods have been proposed for the resolution and determination of Salbutamol sulphate (SS), Brombexine hydrochloride (BH) and Etofylline (ET) in pure and pharmaceutical formulations respectively. The developed methods show best results in terms of resolution, linearity, accuracy, precisi...

The lower esophageal diverticulum (LED) and heterotopic pancreas (EP), also named aberrant pancreas, are considered as a congenital anomaly. The merger of them is extremely rare, and usually causes a wrong diagnosis. Here we reported a 27-year-old woman was diagnosed as with right pulmonary abscess and accepted treatments with meropenem and bromhexine for 1 month, then was with chest computed t...

In a double-blind, controlled cross-over trial, the effect of the mucolytic drug bromhexine (24 mg or 48 mg daily) was compared with a placebo over a period of 14 weeks in 21 severe chronic bronchitics (mean FEVI.0 0-8 1.). Each of the three treatment regimes was continued for four weeks with intervening single weeks on placebo tablets. As the subjects were outpatients, sodium fluorescein incor...

The present work describes two new spectrophotometric methods for the determination of bromhexine hydrochloride in bulk and formulations. Method A is based on the reduction of Fe into Fe by the drug followed by the complex formation of Fe with 2, 2’ bipyridyl to form cherry red colored chromogen having maximum absorbance at 510nm and Method B is based on oxidation of 3-methylbenzothiazolinone-2...
