Why and for what would I take this drug? This drug is most commonly used to treat congestion of the chest and lungs. Common among cold and flu sufferers, congestion causing difficulty in breathing and often times leads to severe cough. During this time the body has difficulty expelling the pent up mucus. This drug works to thin the mucus so the body can then expel it without severe damage or overworking the already tired body. Once the drug begins to interact with the mucus, the congestion begins to be relieved by way of drainage. This aids in the breathing of the patient who feels less restricted with the thinning process taking place. This drug is often times prescribed to those who already have a condition that prohibits proper breathing because of the fast acting nature. How should I take this drug?
