Overview

Guaifenesin is an expectorant.

Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic agent that occurs naturally in plants of the genus Ephedra; the drug acts directly on both alpha- and, to a lesser degree, beta-adrenergic receptors.

Pseudoephedrine is used as a nasal decongestant for self-medication for the temporary relief of nasal congestion associated with upper respiratory allergy and to provide temporary relief of sinus congestion and pressure. The drug also has been used for self-medication in the symptomatic prevention of otitic barotrauma+ (aerotitis ( barotitis) media). Pseudoephedrine also has been misused for clandestine synthesis of methamphetamine and methcathinone for illicit use.
