Comment: Bromhexine is a widely used mucolytic (expectorant) drug. In response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic of 2019/20 it was investigated as an add-on treatment for patients with COVID-19 [1]. In addition to its mucolytic activity, bromhexine may also inhibit the human protease TMPRSS2 that is exploited by certain coronaviruses for spike (S) protein priming, thus reducing the viruses' infection mechanism [2].
