Research Notes on Guaifenesin

Guaifenesin belongs to a class of medications known as expectorants and is used to treat coughs associated with colds, bronchitis or similar lung infections.1 It helps to make a cough more productive by thinning the mucus in the air passages so it becomes easier to expel.1 This medication is not a cure and will not help to speed recovery; it merely relieves the symptoms of the affliction.1

Fast Facts:

  • Due to serious, life-threatening side effects, this medicine should not be utilized to treat a child younger than two years of age.1
  • Administered orally in many forms, including a tablet, capsule, granules and syrup.1
  • Follow prescription label carefully; be certain not to take more or less than prescribed.1
