🩺 Clinical
This is an over-the-counter oral liquid solution for children that combines three active ingredients commonly used for cold and congestion symptoms. Guaifenesin functions as an expectorant, typically used to help thin mucus and make coughs more productive. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant commonly used to help reduce coughing. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant typically used to help relieve stuffy nose and sinus congestion. This product is marketed under FDA's over-the-counter monograph rules for cold and cough medicines.
