About Guaifenesin
Guaifenesin is an expectorant — a medicine that helps clear a chesty, mucus-filled cough. It is one of the most common active ingredients in the cough syrups sold across Nigerian pharmacies and patent medicine stores, appearing both on its own and blended into combination cold-and-cough products. Well-known brands containing guaifenesin include Benylin Chesty Cough and Robitussin, alongside many affordable local generics.
