Drug Overview

This medication is designed to help loosen phlegm (mucus) and thin bronchial secretions, making it easier for you to clear mucus from your airways. By doing so, it can make your coughs more productive, which is especially helpful when dealing with coughs caused by minor throat and bronchial irritation, such as those that may occur with the common cold or from inhaled irritants.

In addition to helping with mucus clearance, this drug temporarily relieves the intensity of coughing and can reduce the urge to cough, which may help you get a better night's sleep.
