What is Guaifenesin?
Guaifenesin is a common component of many cold and cough remedies that helps loosen and liquefy mucus. Guaifenesin is a safe medication that may even be used by children over 12 years of age. Derived from a tree bark extract called guaiacum, guaifenesin was first used during the 16th century. Twenty years ago, the extract was synthesized, pressed into tablets and named guaifenesin.
Guaifenesin FA as Effective as Extended Release Guaifenesin 600
Dr. St. Amand has informally tested Guaifenesin FA (Fast Acting) with his patients and found it to be just as effective as the Guaifenesin 600mg extended release product. He attributes these positive results to the quick dissolution of the fast acting guaifenesin tablets, which facilitates timely uptake and utilization by the body.
