If you are using the liquid form of this medication, carefully measure the dose using a special
measuring device/spoon.
Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose.

Drink plenty of fluids while taking this medication.... ( non alcohol
)Fluids will help to break up mucus and clear congestion.
Re: Cough : Expectorant - ketchim - 01-06-2014
Expectorants increase the bronchial secretion and enhance the expulsion of mucus
by air passages of the lungs.

This makes it is easier to cough up the phlegm or sputum.[/size]
Expectorants are used in cough mixtures for chesty coughs.

Medicines derived from the guaiac tree were in use as a generic remedy by American
indigenous peoples when explorers reached North America in the 16th century.
The Spanish encountered " guaiacum wood "when they conquered Santo Domingo;
it was soon brought back to Europe, where it acquired an immense reputation in the sixteenth
century as a cure for syphilis and certain other diseases..."
