Bromhexine, the active ingredient in Bisolvon ® Chesty and Bisolvon ® Chesty Forte, is a substance with a long history. Bromhexine was first introduced under Bisolvon ® in 1963 and is a trusted aid in the treatment of a productive cough. It is classified as a mucolytic, as it thins down mucus, making it easier to cough up and clear chest congestion.

There are two kinds of cough: chesty (productive) and dry (non-productive).
Chesty cough: A chesty cough, also known as productive cough, is often the result of a mild upper respiratory tract infection, such as the common cold. Infection causes the mucus membrane of the airways to become inflamed and produce thick, sticky mucus, which is no longer removed by the body’s normal clearing action and clogs up the airways. Coughing helps push out this sticky phlegm. When there is inflammation and abundance of thick mucus, this can narrow the airways and make breathing difficult.
Dry cough: A dry cough is non-productive and tickly – it involves a repeated irritation of the respiratory tract and usually no phlegm is produced. This cough can, for example, be caused by cigarette smoke, dust or allergies. Sometimes it remains for a couple of days or 1 – 2 weeks after the the end of a common cold.
Yes. In the case of a common cold, there are often different cough phases: first there can be a dry cough, which can later turn more and more into a chesty cough. The chesty cough can once again be followed by a dry cough, which then might last for a longer time-period. Please see your doctor if your cough lasts longer than 5 days.
Whether you should consult a doctor is dependent on the individual situation. In general, contact a doctor if your cough lasts longer than about a week, if you have a fever, or if you have persistent chest pain or difficulty breathing. See your doctor immediately if you are coughing up blood.
Yes. Bisolvon ® Chesty and Chesty Forte help to remove sticky phlegm from the airways faster and more easily. Therefore, the frequency of coughing may be increased in order to remove the increased amount of phlegm. Later, the frequency of coughing and the amount of phlegm coughed up will decrease. If not, ask for medical advice.
