What is Dextromethorphan Guaifenesin Pseudoephedrine

Dextromethorphan guaifenesin pseudoephedrine are used together used to treat cough and congestion and related symptoms due to the common cold, hay fever (allergic rhinitis) or other upper respiratory allergies.

Dextromethorphan is a centrally acting non-opioid cough suppressant.

Guaifenesin loosens and thins phlegm and bronchial secretions to ease expectoration.

Although guaifenesin may be used as an expectorant in both productive and non-productive coughs, it is especially useful in the treatment of dry, non-productive coughs.

Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic amine that is used as a decongestant. It shrinks nasal mucous membranes, reduces tissue hyperemia and edema, and increases nasal airway patency.
