Description
What Is Robitussin Mucus Cough & Congestion Relief?
Robitussin Mucus Cough & Congestion Relief is a dual-action cough syrup formulated to relieve mucus-heavy chesty coughs and blocked sinuses associated with colds and respiratory infections.
It combines two proven active ingredients:
-
Guaifenesin, an expectorant that loosens and thins mucus, making it easier to clear from the chest.
-
Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride, a decongestant that reduces nasal swelling, relieving pressure and helping you breathe more easily.
This non-drowsy syrup provides effective relief from cough, congestion, and sinus pressure in adults and children aged 12 years and over.
