New Findings from Tulane University School of Medicine Describe Advances in Guaifenesin Therapy (Guaifenesin: the Ubiquitous Orphan).

A recent report from Tulane University School of Medicine examines the efficacy of guaifenesin therapy, a widely used ingredient in over-the-counter cough and cold medications, in treating respiratory conditions. The research highlights the lack of significant benefits over a placebo for upper respiratory disease and questions the claimed expectorant effect of guaifenesin. The article explores the rationale for clinical use, potential downsides, and alternative treatment options. This research has been peer-reviewed and provides valuable insights for those interested in the topic. [Extracted from the article]
