How Robitussin Chesty Cough Works

Guaifenesin, the active ingredient in Robitussin Chesty Cough 100ml, is a type of medicine called an expectorant. It works by:

• Thinning Mucus: Guaifenesin helps to reduce the viscosity (thickness) of the phlegm and mucus in your respiratory passages.
• Making Coughs Productive: By thinning the mucus, it makes it easier for you to cough it up, turning a dry, unproductive cough into a more effective one that clears your chest.
• Easing Congestion: This action helps relieve the feeling of congestion often associated with chesty coughs and colds & flu.

Always follow the directions for use carefully to ensure safe and effective relief.
