KGS-PE Oral

KGS-PE 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).
