Guaifenesin is an ingredient in cough and cold medicines that is used to help clear mucus or phlegm from your chest when you have had a cold or flu. Guaifenesin works by making your mucus thinner and easier to cough up, which helps clear chest congestion. Guaifenesin is available as an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine and also available on prescription.
