Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It helps loosen congestion in your chest and throat, making it easier to cough out through your mouth.
Guaifenesin is used to reduce chest congestion caused by the common cold, infections, or allergies.
Guaifenesin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of taking expectorant?
What is the most important information I should know about expectorant?
