Overview

Ambifed-G is a combination medication used to relieve symptoms associated with allergies, colds, and respiratory tract infections. It contains two active ingredients: pseudoephedrine, a decongestant, and guaifenesin, an expectorant. Pseudoephedrine works by narrowing blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing congestion, while guaifenesin helps loosen and thin mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up.
