Guaifenesin is used to treat coughs and congestion caused by the common cold, bronchitis, and other breathing illnesses. This product is usually not used for ongoing cough from smoking or long-term breathing problems unless directed by your doctor. Guaifenesin is an expectorant, which means it works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, clearing congestion, and making breathing easier. It's important to read the package instructions carefully before using this product, especially if you are self-treating. Cough-and-cold products have not been shown to be safe or effective in children younger than 6 years, so it's important to consult with a doctor before giving it to children. It's also important to carefully follow all dosage directions and not to give other cough-and-cold medications that might contain the same or similar ingredients. Ask a doctor or pharmacist for more details about using the product safely. Remember, these products do not cure or shorten the length of the common cold. To relieve cough and cold symptoms, consider drinking enough fluids, using a humidifier, or using saline nose drops or spray.
