Which Robitussin is best for cough with phlegm?

AI Overview

For a cough with phlegm, the best Robitussin is Robitussin Cough & Chest Congestion DM, as the 'DM' indicates it contains both a cough suppressant (Dextromethorphan) and an expectorant (Guaifenesin) that thins mucus, making it easier to cough up phlegm and relieve chest congestion. Always check the label to confirm it has Guaifenesin for the phlegm (expectorant) and Dextromethorphan for the cough, and consult a doctor if you have chronic lung disease or if symptoms persist. 

Key Ingredients for Phlegm:

• Guaifenesin: This is the expectorant that helps loosen and thin mucus, turning a dry cough into a productive one. 
• Dextromethorphan (DM): This is the cough suppressant that controls the cough reflex. 

Recommended Product:

• Robitussin Cough & Chest Congestion DM: This product specifically targets both aspects of your symptoms, offering cough control and mucus relief. 

When to See a Doctor: 

• If your cough lasts more than 7 days, or if you also have a fever, rash, or constant headache. 
• Do not use it for coughs related to smoking, asthma, or emphysema without consulting a doctor.

Robitussin solely for expectorant purposes typically refers to products containing only Guaifenesin (100mg/5mL), designed to thin and loosen mucus in the chest and throat to make coughs more productive. It treats chest congestion caused by colds, infections, or allergies. Common formulas include syrup and capsules, often requiring doses every 4-6 hours. 

Key Details for Robitussin Expectorant-Only (Guaifenesin):

• Active Ingredient: Guaifenesin.
• Purpose: Relieves chest congestion by increasing the volume and reducing the viscosity of phlegm.
• Dosage (Typical): 100mg per 5mL syrup, usually 1-2 teaspoons (5-10 mL) every 4 hours.
• Usage Warnings: Do not use for persistent/chronic coughs (e.g., smoking, asthma, emphysema) without consulting a doctor. Stop use if a fever, rash, or headache occurs, or if the cough lasts more than 7 days.
• Interaction: Not for use with other cough and cold medications. 

Note: Ensure the product is "Expectorant" only (often labeled "Mucus & Phlegm"), not "DM" or "Cough & Chest Congestion," which contain the cough suppressant Dextromethorphan.
