Is Codeine Effective In Treating Flu?
Brief Answer:
the guafenesin is an expectorant
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The guaifenesin is an expectorant. It works by decreasing the thickness of the secretions by increasing the amount of fluid in the respiratory tract. This will help you to get rid of the excess mucus
You should also consider increasing fluid intake if possible, the extra fluid also helps with secretion thickness.
Codeine is a cough suppressant used to decrease coughing.
These ingredients are commonly used together though sometimes, persons refer to use the guaifenesin on its own and not stop the cough that would bring up the mucus
On its own, would be plain mucinex
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
