R05CA03 • guaifenesin • Respiratory system | Expectorants, excl. combinations with cough suppressants
Guaifenesin is a medication used to relieve productive cough associated with colds, bronchitis, or other respiratory conditions. It is an expectorant that helps thin and loosen mucus in the airways.
This medication works by increasing the water content in mucus, making it less viscous and easier to expel through coughing. It is available in tablet, syrup, or oral solution forms.
Guaifenesin is generally well-tolerated but may cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, or headaches. In rare cases, allergic reactions may occur.
It is important to follow the dosage instructions and drink plenty of fluids to support the medication's expectorant effect. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist for more than 7 days.
