About Bromhexine

Bromhexine is a mucolytic medication that is widely used across Nigeria to treat productive coughs — coughs that produce thick, sticky mucus (phlegm). It is best known by its popular brand name Bisolvon, which has become a household name in Nigeria, almost synonymous with cough treatment. Bromhexine works by breaking down the chemical structure of mucus in the respiratory tract, making it thinner and less sticky, so it can be coughed up more easily. This helps clear the airways and relieve chest congestion. Walk into any pharmacy or patent medicine store from Surulere in Lagos to Sabon Gari in Kano, and Bisolvon will be prominently displayed among the cough remedies. It is one of the most sought-after over-the-counter medications during the harmattan season and the rainy season, when respiratory infections surge across the country.
