Good Neighbor Pharmacy Mucus Relief is a medication that helps loosen mucus and make coughing more productive, which can be especially helpful if you have a cough due to conditions like a cold or allergies. It works by thinning the mucus in your airways, making it easier to clear out. For adults and children aged 12 and older, the starting dose is one tablet every four hours as needed, but you should not take more than six doses in a 24-hour period. Children aged 6 to 10 can take half a tablet every four hours, and it's important to consult a doctor for children under 6.
