Research Area: Respiratory Diseases
Biological Activity:
Guaifenesin(Guaiphenesin) is thought to act as an expectorant by increasing the volume and reducing the viscosity of secretions in the trachea and bronchi. Thus, it may increase the efficiency of the cough reflex and facilitate removal of the secretions; however, objective evidence for this is limited and conflicting. [1]
