Mollipect
Mollipect (/mɒlɪpɛkt/) is a commonly used pharmaceutical drug in the treatment of cough and congestion symptoms. It is a combination of two active ingredients: Bromhexine and Ephedrine.
Etymology
The term "Mollipect" is a trade name and does not have a known etymology. It is a proprietary name given by the manufacturer.
Usage
Mollipect is used to treat symptoms of a cold or flu, such as cough and congestion. It works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, clearing congestion, and making breathing easier. The Ephedrine component acts as a decongestant, helping to shrink swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages, thereby relieving nasal congestion.
