Guaifenesin
An expectorant medication used to loosen and thin mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up secretions in conditions such as chest congestion associated with asthma, bronchitis, and the common cold. It works by increasing the volume and reducing the viscosity of respiratory tract secretions. Adequate fluid intake enhances its effectiveness.
