LuSonal Oral

Generic Name: POTASSIUM GUAIACOLSULFONATE/DECONGESTANT - ORAL


LuSonal Oral Uses

Potassium guaiacolsulfonate is an expectorant used to help loosen and clear mucus. Decongestants help relieve a stuffy nose, promote sinus draining, and improve breathing. This combination medication is used to treat symptoms associated with the common cold, allergies, sinusitis, or bronchitis.

Do not use this medication in children younger than 2 years unless specifically directed by the doctor. To decrease the risk for serious side effects, carefully follow all of the doctor's dosage directions. Do not give other cough and cold medication that might contain the same or similar ingredients (see also Drug Interactions section). Ask your doctor or pharmacist about other ways to relieve cough and cold symptoms (e.g., saline nose drops/spray, using a humidifier or infant nasal suction bulb).

How To Use LuSonal Oral

Take this medication by mouth as directed with a full glass (8 ounces or 240 milliliters) of water. Do not increase the dose or take it more often or longer than prescribed. It is recommended to drink plenty of fluids while taking this medication, unless your doctor instructs you otherwise.

If your symptoms do not improve after 7 days or if you develop a high fever, notify your doctor promptly.
