Dysolvon 8mg Tablet

Dysolvon 8mg Tablet is an OTC oral tablet containing Bromhexine Hydrochloride 8mg per tablet, marketed under the Dyna brand in Malaysia. Bromhexine belongs to the mucolytic class of medicines, a category of ingredients formulated here in a tablet dosage form. It is available from pharmacies and licensed online pharmacies such as DoctorOnCall without needing a doctor’s prescription, and is supplied in strips of 10 tablets.

Bromhexine is chemically related to ambroxol — ambroxol is in fact bromhexine’s main active metabolite in the body — but the two are distinct medicines with different typical adult dosing (bromhexine is commonly dosed at 8mg per tablet, while ambroxol products are usually dosed at 30mg per tablet), so the two brand names and strengths should not be assumed interchangeable. Dysolvon 8mg Tablet should be swallowed whole with water and not chewed or crushed.

As a single-ingredient mucolytic tablet, Dysolvon is distinct from combination cough-and-cold products that pair a mucolytic with an antihistamine, decongestant, or antitussive. Always check the active ingredient and strength on the actual strip/carton at the point of purchase.

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not chew or crush it.
• Take preferably after meals to help reduce stomach discomfort.
• Follow the frequency stated on the packaging or as directed by a doctor or pharmacist.

The typical adult dose is one 8mg tablet taken three times daily, or as directed by a doctor or pharmacist, swallowed whole with water and preferably after meals. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose, in which case the missed dose should be skipped rather than doubled up. Use in children should only be under a doctor’s or pharmacist’s guidance, since a pediatric-specific dosing schedule for this exact strength could not be independently confirmed in this research pass. If symptoms with phlegm or cough persist beyond about a week, worsen, or are accompanied by fever or breathing difficulty, stop self-treating and see a doctor.

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the strip in its original packaging and out of reach of children.

• Known hypersensitivity to bromhexine or any other ingredient in the tablet.
• History of peptic ulcer disease, unless a doctor has specifically advised its use.
• Severe hepatic or renal impairment, unless directed and dose-adjusted by a doctor.

• Bromhexine has been reported to increase the penetration of certain antibiotics (e.g. amoxicillin) into bronchial secretions; consult a doctor before combining it with other prescribed antibiotics.
• Avoid combining this tablet with other cough, cold, or mucolytic/expectorant products containing a similar active ingredient, to prevent duplicate-ingredient overdose.
• No significant food interactions are known; taking it after meals is simply a comfort measure for some users, not a requirement for the tablet to be effective.

• Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
• Take it after meals to help reduce stomach discomfort.
• Avoid combining with other mucolytic or expectorant products without a pharmacist’s advice.

Precautions: Use with caution in pregnancy and breastfeeding — consult a doctor first, particularly during the first trimester. Individuals with a history of peptic ulcer disease, or with severe liver or kidney impairment, should only use this tablet under a doctor’s guidance. Elderly patients should use it as directed and report any new symptoms to a pharmacist or doctor.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Seek medical advice if a cough with phlegm persists beyond about a week, is accompanied by fever, blood in the phlegm, chest pain, or breathing difficulty, or if any signs of an allergic reaction develop.
