Q-Tuss

Q-Tuss is an over-the-counter (OTC) cough syrup developed and marketed by Shanur Healthcare, a South African pharmaceutical company. It is an oral liquid formulation primarily containing guaifenesin, an expectorant used for the symptomatic relief of coughs associated with upper respiratory tract infections. Guaifenesin works by increasing the volume and reducing the viscosity of respiratory tract secretions, thereby facilitating the removal of mucus from the airways through ciliary action and coughing. It is typically indicated for the treatment of productive or "wet" coughs and chest congestion. As a marketed consumer healthcare product, it is available without a prescription for the management of respiratory symptoms.
