Uses
Temporarily relieves cough due to minor throat and bronchial irritation from the common cold or inhaled irritants. Guaifenesin loosens phlegm and thins bronchial secretions; dextromethorphan suppresses the cough reflex.
Do not use if
Contraindicated in patients currently taking or within 2 weeks of stopping a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). Dextromethorphan can cause serotonin syndrome when combined with MAOIs.
Side effects
May cause nervousness, dizziness, or sleeplessness. Stop use if symptoms worsen, persist beyond 7 days, or are accompanied by fever, rash, or persistent headache.
Warnings
Do not use with MAOIs. Store at room temperature; do not refrigerate. Each 20 mL contains sodium 8 mg — low sodium formulation. Use the minimum effective dose and avoid exceeding recommended dosage.
How it works
Dextromethorphan is a centrally acting antitussive that elevates the cough threshold by acting on sigma-1 receptors in the medullary cough center. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that increases respiratory tract fluid, reducing mucus viscosity and facilitating expectoration.
Storage
Store at room temperature. Do not refrigerate. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight.
