| mechanism = <vote slug="guaifenesin-mech-claim">Guaifenesin is thought to act as an expectorant by triggering vagal gastric reflexes that increase respiratory tract secretions, reducing mucus viscosity and easing expulsion of mucus; the high-quality evidence for this effect is limited, but the agent is generally well tolerated.</vote> Adequate hydration is at least as important as the drug in producing the expectorant effect clinically. Used in combination with dextromethorphan, decongestants, or antihistamines in many proprietary OTC cold preparations.
