What is Guaifenesin used for?

Guaifenesin is primarily used as an expectorant to relieve symptoms of chest congestion. It works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, which can help clear the lungs and make breathing easier.

It is important to follow the guidance of a healthcare provider when considering guaifenesin for specific conditions.
