Berlin-Chemie Bromhexin 8

Bromhexin 8 is a long-standing pharmaceutical product used primarily as an expectorant to treat respiratory diseases involving thick mucus. The product is manufactured by Berlin-Chemie AG, a company with deep historical roots in Berlin, Germany, dating back to 1890. Its origins are tied to the former Chemical factory of Kahlbaum and later the state-owned VEB Berlin-Chemie during the GDR era.

Today, Berlin-Chemie is a major international player in the pharmaceutical industry. Since 1992, the brand has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Menarini Group, Italy's leading private pharmaceutical and diagnostic company. While the brand is managed from its historic headquarters in Berlin and its products are primarily produced there for global distribution, the ultimate corporate oversight and ownership reside with the Menarini Group in Florence, Italy.
