	Cough medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dry coughs are treated with cough suppressants (antitussives) that suppress the body's urge to cough, while productive coughs (coughs that produce phlegm) are treated with expectorants that loosen mucus from the respiratory tract.
		Cough suppressants may act centrally (on the brain, and specifically the vagus nerve) or locally (on the respiratory tract) to suppress the cough reflex.
		One might think it unwise to suppress the cough reflex (the mechanism for expelling mucus from the respiratory tract) but severe coughing may lead to lung irritation, causing a vicious cycle.

		Cough suppressants, on the other hand, stop the body's reflex or desire to cough.
		Suppressants are divided into non-narcotic (which you can buy over the counter) and narcotic (prescription) preparations.
		Keep in mind that a cough is a protective reflex that clears secretions, so it's not always a good idea to suppress it.

	Guaifenesin as Cough Suppressant?
		Guaifenesin, a component of many cough and cold preparations, is commonly labeled a cough expectorant because it increases sputum volume and decreases sputum viscosity.
		Among the subjects with URIs, the mean amount of capsaicin needed to induce a cough (mean log C5) was significantly higher following guaifenesin administration than it was following placebo use (0.92 vs 0.66, respectively), indicating that guaifenesin suppressed the cough reflex.
		Although it is not known why guaifenesin inhibits cough, Dr. Dicpinigaitis suggested that the agent could work peripherally in the airways, by hydrating airway mucus so that it shields the cough receptors from cough-inducing irritants.
