Dyphylline is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing muscles in the airways to improve breathing.
Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It helps loosen congestion in your chest and throat, making it easier to cough out through your mouth.
The combination of dyphylline and guaifenesin is used to treat cough and breathing problems caused by bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, or emphysema. This medication is not a cure for asthma, bronchitis, or emphysema.
Dyphylline and guaifenesin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
