Guaifenesin is used to help bring up phlegm, thin secretions, and make a cough productive.
Phenylephrine is used to dry up nasal stuffiness.

Guaifenesin decreases the stickiness of the breathing tubes and allows the fluid to flow more easily.
Phenylephrine shrinks swollen nasal tissue and opens up passages. Sinus drainage is increased by this.

Take with 1 glass of water unless healthcare provider decreases fluid intake.
Swallow sustained-release form whole. Do not chew, break, or crush.
Make sure you are drinking enough liquids unless told to drink less by healthcare provider. Avoid products with caffeine.
