Guaifenesin and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide Extended-Release Tablets, 1200 mg/60 mg helps loosen phlegm (mucus), thins bronchial secretions to rid the bronchial passageways of bothersome mucus, and makes coughs more productive. Temporarily relieves cough due to minor throat and bronchial irritation as may occur with the common cold or inhaled irritants, the intensity of coughing and the impulse to cough to help you get to sleep.

Review: Works great helps to relieve symptoms - Good value for the money it’s hard to get them pills out of the blisters, but I guess they made everything senior citizen proof but anyway you work at it you can get them. I’m satisfied with this product and the fact that it relieved my cold and flu symptoms.
