Use during pregnancy or lactation

Interactions with other medicinal products
If antibiotics or sulphonamides are administered at the same time, the increased secretory capacity of the bronchial mucosa caused by bromhexine can lead to an increased concentration of antimicrobial substances in the bronchial secretions. Bisolvon® should not be used together with antitussives (secretion congestion).
