Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Robitussin contains 'Guaifenesin', which is an expectorant, and is used to reduce chest congestion caused by the common cold, infections, or allergies.
Robitussin is a brand name and registered trademark for both over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription cough and cold medicines. Its combination with codeine and quaifenesin, available as Robitussin-AC, is not an over-the-counter medication and is available only by prescription.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
