Formula Information

Guaifenesin 10%/Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate 10% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to provide targeted treatment for a range of respiratory conditions. These include bronchitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and emphysema. The formulation combines two active ingredients, guaifenesin and magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, which synergistically work to alleviate symptoms by reducing inflammation and loosening mucus in the airways.

On the other hand, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate serves as an anti-inflammatory agent that helps to reduce inflammation in the airways, promoting easier breathing. The combined action of these two ingredients provides effective relief from the symptoms associated with bronchitis, asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis, and emphysema.
