Guaifenesin (IPA: [gwa??f?n?s?n]) (INN) or guaiphenesin (former BAN), also glyceryl guaiacolate, is an expectorant drug sold over the counter and usually taken by mouth to assist the bringing up (“expectoration”) of phlegm from the airways in acute respiratory tract infections.

Guaifenesin is sold as pills or syrups under many brand names. It is also included in many other over-the-counter cough and cold remedy combinations (usually in conjunction with dextromethorphan and/or pseudophedrine or phenylephrine and/or acetaminophen). In certain jurisdictions, guaifenesin is available over-the-counter in combination with codeine to be sold at the pharmacist’s discretion, though many pharmacists decline to do so. Guaifenesin is a component of both Robitussin DAC and Robitussin AC. Single ingredient formulations of guaifenesin are also available. – Wikipedia
