Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this product sugar-free?
No. Geri-Tussin DM contains sucrose and sucralose for its cherry flavoring.
What is an expectorant and how does it work?
An expectorant (like Guaifenesin) works by increasing the water content of the mucus in your lungs and respiratory tract. This makes the "gunk" thinner and much easier to expel when you cough.
How many doses are in this 16 oz bottle?
One 16 fl oz bottle contains approximately 473 mL. At a standard 10 mL (2 teaspoonfuls) dose for adults, this provides roughly 47 doses per bottle.
