I’m so sorry to hear about your husband, my heart goes out to you.

I did a quick search for Bisolvon side effects and found nothing about blood specifically.

This is from the Bisolvon Chesty Tablets (bromhexine hydrochloride) leaflet…

“Before taking Bisolvon Chesty, you must tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have, or have had, any of the following conditions:

• liver problems
• kidney problems
• stomach ulcers”

I read that as ‘this drug is going to put a strain on your liver, kidneys and stomach.’

“Side effects from Bisolvon Chesty include:

• nausea
• diarrhoea
• vomiting
• other mild stomach and bowel problems
• headache
• dizziness
• sweating
• temporary rise in some liver enzyme levels

Serious allergic reactions have occurred with the use of Bisolvon Chesty. Symptoms of allergic reactions may include:

• skin rashes, including pinkish, itchy swellings (also called hives)
• difficulty in breathing
• swelling of the face, lips, mouth, tongue or throat which may cause difficulty swallowing or breathing”

Wow… with side effects like that, who needs disease? It’s not just Bisolvon or Zispin of course. As the leaflet goes on to say…

“In addition, unexpected effects, not listed above, can occur with any medicine.”

Our bodies are so incredibly complex that I believe nearly any side effect is possible from nearly any drug. How can we truly know cause and effect?

Mike once said to me “a healthy body requires no drugs”. It may seem obvious but it’s so true. Disease is not inevitable. We must all look after ourselves. Drugs can ‘do a job’ for a while, but they’re crude and can never generate health for us — plus they will always involve an element of risk.

If our doctor tells us we need a drug, we must take stock, and take the drug only long enough to correct the underlying cause of the problem.

He later complained of feeling weak and was rushed to a hospital where they discovered that his blood count was very low - 3.6. His blood pressure was also low and he was experiencing difficulties in breathing. He never recovered. He died 6 hours after he was admitted. We later learnt that he had internal bleeding - dont know what caused it - and that his body was rejecting the blood infusting administered by te hospital. Having read the above article I will now read up on the possible side effects of the drug BISOLVAN. My husband was recently recovering from a ‘flu’ for which he was taking a drug called BISOLVAN.
