General Product Description
Robitussin Cold & Chesty Cough provides symptomatic relief from congestion associated with chesty coughs and nasal stuffiness due to the common cold. Robitussin liquid coats and soothes the throat and contains the expectorant Guaifenesin, which increases the flow of natural secretions along the lower respiratory tract. This liquefying effect helps to loosen and break up congestion so you can cough it up and get it off your chest. Robitussin Cold & Chesty Cough also contains Phenylephrine, an effective decongestant to clear nasal and sinus congestion, making breathing easier.
