Cough : Expectorant

[size=12pt]Guaifenesin is used to treat coughs and congestion caused by the common cold[/size]..........

Do not bother with Prescription antibiotics....

[size=12pt]Guaifenesin may have a bitter taste.[/size]

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.

Expectorants increase the bronchial secretion and enhance the expulsion of mucus

by air passages of the lungs.

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..."
