Guaifenesin belongs to a class of drugs called expectorants, which reduce nasal and airway congestion by loosening the mucus that builds up inside the airways. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that reduces the swelling of blood vessels in the nose.
Deconex DMX is taken as a tablet every four hours. The dose will depend on the age of the patient.
