Guaifenesin, approved for medical use in Japan in 1949, is an expectorant medication found in numerous over-the-counter products. Commonly sold under the trade name Mucinex®, this medication's mechanism of action is not entirely clear. It is thought to work by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and relieve congestion. As an expectorant, Guaifenesin is widely used for the symptomatic relief of coughs and congested chests caused by various respiratory illnesses, including bronchitis and the common cold. This medication is available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, and syrups, and is often combined with other medications to treat specific symptoms. Although generally safe, Guaifenesin may cause side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and upset stomach.
