Guaifenesin History

There are similar medicines derived from the guaiac tree were in use as a generic remedy by Native Americans when explorers reached North America in the 1500s. Guaifenesin was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration  in 1952.Guaifenesin is sold as pills or syrups under many brand names. It is also included in many other over-the-counter cough and cold remedy combinations

Guaifenesin Uses
