Bisolvon Tablets

Bisolvon Tablets

Description:

Bisolvon Tablets are an over-the-counter expectorant medicine used to relieve productive (chesty) cough associated with respiratory tract infections and conditions that cause thick, sticky mucus. The active ingredient, bromhexine hydrochloride, works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear the chest. Bisolvon is commonly used in adults and children above the recommended age to support easier breathing and improve comfort during colds, bronchitis, and other mucus-related respiratory conditions. This product is a medicine and should be used according to medical and label directions.

Indications:

• Relief of productive (chesty) cough with thick, tenacious mucus
• Acute and chronic bronchitis associated with increased mucus production
• Respiratory tract infections such as common cold and flu when accompanied by mucus congestion
• Conditions of the upper and lower respiratory tract where thinning and mobilizing bronchial secretions is beneficial
• Adjunctive therapy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other chronic respiratory diseases with excessive mucus, as directed by a physician

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Bromhexine hydrochloride – 8 mg per tablet (typical strength for Bisolvon tablets in many markets; exact strength for the Egyptian pack is not provided in the available data)
• Other tablet excipients: exact inactive ingredients (e.g., fillers, binders, colorants, preservatives) are not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as directed by your doctor or according to the package leaflet.
• Adults and adolescents (over 12 years): commonly 1 tablet 3 times daily. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose stated on the product packaging or prescribed by your doctor.
• Children: Use only if a pediatric dose is clearly stated on the package or prescribed by a doctor. For younger children, bromhexine is often given as oral drops or syrup rather than tablets.
• Tablets should be swallowed whole with a sufficient amount of water. They may be taken with or without food, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• Drink plenty of fluids during treatment to support mucus thinning and clearance.
• Do not use for more than 5–7 days without medical advice. If symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by high fever, chest pain, or difficulty breathing, consult a doctor promptly.
• Do not double the dose if a dose is missed; take the next dose at the regular scheduled time.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps liquefy and loosen thick bronchial mucus, making it easier to cough up and clear the airways.
• Supports relief from chest congestion and productive cough associated with colds, bronchitis, and other respiratory infections.
• Improves airway clearance, which can help ease breathing and reduce the feeling of chest tightness caused by mucus build-up.
• Can be used as an adjunct therapy in chronic respiratory conditions with excessive mucus, under medical supervision.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to bromhexine or any of the other ingredients in the product.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of gastric or duodenal ulcers, as mucolytics may irritate the gastric mucosa.
• Patients with severe liver or kidney impairment should use bromhexine only under close medical supervision; dose adjustment may be required.
• If you develop skin rash, severe skin reactions, or signs of allergy (such as swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or difficulty breathing), stop taking the medicine and seek medical attention immediately.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Bromhexine should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are breastfeeding. Small amounts of bromhexine may pass into breast milk; your doctor will weigh the benefits and risks.
• Use with caution in patients with chronic respiratory diseases; if there is a sudden change in symptoms (e.g., increased shortness of breath, blood in sputum), seek medical advice.
• Do not combine with antitussive (cough-suppressant) medicines without medical advice, as this may lead to mucus accumulation.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are taking other medications, especially for respiratory diseases, heart disease, or if you have serious medical conditions such as liver disease or kidney disease.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• This product is a medicine and should be used only as directed by a healthcare professional or according to the package leaflet.

• Common side effects may include mild gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or diarrhea.
• Less common side effects can include headache, dizziness, or a mild increase in liver enzymes (usually reversible).
• Allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, hives, or swelling can occur. Severe reactions, including serious skin reactions (e.g., Stevens–Johnson syndrome), are rare but require immediate medical attention.
