Were you looking for information on Guaifenesin? Guiafenesin is a common misspelling of guaifenesin.
Guaifenesin is a nonprescription medication approved to treat chest congestion, although it may also be used in an
off-label fashion to help women become pregnant and to treat
fibromyalgia. It comes in both syrup and tablet forms, and is licensed for adults and children over the age of 12. (The medication may be given to children between the ages of 4 and 12 if a healthcare provider recommends this, but other methods are generally prescribed first.)
In general, dosing guidelines call for guaifenesin to be taken every 4 to 12 hours, but this can vary, based on age, weight, and other factors, so it is best to follow the recommendations on your particular product. If you are still unsure how much to take, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
