Robitussin Mucus Cough 100ml

This medicine contains the active ingredients guaifenesin and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride.
Guaifenesin belongs to a group of medicines called cough expectorants and works by changing an
unproductive cough to a cough that is more productive and less frequent. Pseudoephedrine
hydrochloride belongs to a group of medicines called nasal decongestants and works by providing
symptomatic relief of the common cold
