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.
