Potassium guaiacolsulfonate also known as sulfoguaiacolum is a salt of GUAIACOLSULFONIC ACID, which is used as an expectorant, to relieve symptoms of cough and mucus in the chest due to respiratory infections, asthma, colds, or hay fever. It works by thinning mucus (phlegm) in the lungs, making it less sticky and easier to cough up. This reduces chest congestion by making coughs more productive.
