Bisol
📌 COMPOSITION
- Each 5 ml contains: Bromhexine Hydrochloride 4 mg.
- Each tablet contains: Bromhexine Hydrochloride 4 mg, 8 mg.
📌 DESCRIPTION
Bisol (Bromhexine Hydrochloride) is a systemic mucolytic agent. Bisol is rapidly absorbed from the GIT. The increase in sputum production becomes evident after 2-3 days following initiation of therapy. The breakdown of acid mucopolysaccharide fibers makes the sputum thinner and less viscid, and therefore more easily removed by coughing. Although sputum volume eventually decreases, its viscosity remains low for as long as treatment with Bisol is maintained.
📌 INDICATIONS
Bisol is indicated for the treatment of respiratory disorders associated with viscid or excessive mucoid secretions such as: Asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, pneumoconiosis, chronic inflammatory pulmonary conditions, bronchiectasis and all forms of tracheobronchitis. During acute exacerbations of bronchitis, Bisol should be given with the appropriate antibiotic.
