Robitussin Mucus Cough and Congestion Relief contains the active ingredient pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. This works by shrinking swollen tissues in the nasal passages to allow air to flow freely. It also contains guaifenesin, which is an expectorant which facilitates coughing to aid clearance from the throat and lungs.
With this combination of ingredients, this medicine loosens mucus while clearing a blocked nose and sinuses, providing symptomatic relief of the common cold.
Non drowsy and sugar free.
