DESCRIPTION
Guaifenesin (glyceryl guaiacolate) has the chemical
name 3-(2- methoxyphenoxy)-1,2-propanediol. Its molecular formula
is C10H14O4 with a molecular weight
of 198.21. It is a white
or slightly gray crystalline
substance with a slightly bitter
aromatic taste. One
gram dissolves in 20 mL

half- life of one hour.
The major urinary metabolite
is b-(2-methoxyphenoxy)
lactic acid.
