Uses of Midpam

Midpam medicine contains two main ingredients, Amoxicillin and Bromhexin, which are indicated for the treatment of respiratory diseases with increased sputum secretion and difficulty in expectoration. The following article provides you with information on how to use and note when using Midpam.

Midpam drug has 2 main active ingredients, Amoxicillin 500mg and Bromhexine 8mg, made in the form of hard capsules.
Amoxicillin is a β-lactam antibiotic with a broad bactericidal spectrum. Amoxicillin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis and leads to bacterial lysis.
Bromhexin is a regulator and mucolytic agent of the respiratory tract. Bromhexine activates the synthesis of sialomucin, breaking down the mucopolysaccharid acid fibers, thus making the sputum more fluid and less viscous. It thins and loosens mucus and helps increase antibiotic penetration. Mucus is less viscous, making it more efficient to escape from the bronchi.
