Always follow your doctor’s instructions or the label directions. For standard adult dosages, measure the correct amount using a marked measuring spoon or cup, never a household spoon. One teaspoon (5ml) typically contains 100mg of guaifenesin. Take the prescribed dose every 4 to 6 hours, as needed, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose.
Dosage Adjustments
Children require smaller doses. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for the appropriate dosage for children based on their age and weight. Adjustments might be necessary for individuals with kidney or liver problems. Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about any existing medical conditions before starting guaifenesin.
Important Precautions
Drink plenty of fluids while taking guaifenesin to help thin the mucus. If symptoms persist for more than a week or worsen, consult your doctor. Do not take guaifenesin if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Store the syrup at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children.
