Guaifenesin is a muscle relaxant and expectorant used to support anesthesia and reduce respiratory mucus in animals. It is often administered in combination with other drugs as part of anesthetic protocols, particularly for large animals like horses.

Essential insights

• Muscle relaxation: Guaifenesin acts by inhibiting nerve impulses in the central nervous system, leading to muscle relaxation without affecting consciousness.
• Expectorant properties: It decreases the viscosity of mucus in the airways, facilitating coughing and airway clearance.
• Minimal sedation: Guaifenesin has a low risk of causing deep sedation, making it suitable for pre-anesthetic use.
