Expectorant Cough Medicine

Lucille Said:

In cold medicine, why do they put a cough supressant AND an expectorant?

We Answered:

A cough medicine is a medicinal drug used to treat coughing and related conditions. Dry coughs are treated with cough suppressants (antitussives) that suppress the body's urge to cough, while productive coughs (coughs that produce phlegm) are treated with expectorants that loosen mucus from the respiratory tract. These medicines are widely available in the form of cough syrup, also known as linctus.

I've heard that Mucinex is really good. I've never used it but I've had friends that have and they licked it. You can get it at Wal-Mart in the medicine isle. Hope you feel better! God Bless.
