USES: Guaifenesin and potassium guaiacolsulfonate are expectorants which help loosen mucus. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. The combination of these medications is used to treat a cough due to colds, flu, hay fever, asthma, and other respiratory illness (e.g., sinusitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis). Phlegm (lung secretions) may also become less thick after using this medication along with fluids.
