Mollipect is an over-the-counter medication that is commonly used to treat symptoms of the common cold, flu, allergies, or other breathing illnesses (such as sinusitis, bronchitis). It contains two active ingredients: bromhexine and ephedrine.

Composition[edit | edit source]

Mollipect is a combination of two active ingredients:

  • Bromhexine - A mucolytic agent that breaks down mucus, making it easier to cough up.
  • Ephedrine - A decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing congestion and making it easier to breathe.

  • Common cold - A viral infection characterized by a runny nose, sore throat, cough, and congestion.
  • Flu - A contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses.
  • Allergies - An immune system reaction to a foreign substance.
  • Sinusitis - Inflammation or swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses.
  • Bronchitis - Inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the lungs.
