  <mechanism-of-toxicity>Guaifenesin may act as an irritant to gastric vagal receptors, and recruit efferent parasympathetic reflexes that cause glandular exocytosis of a less viscous mucus mixture. Cough may be provoked. This combination may flush tenacious, congealed mucopurulent material from obstructed small airways and lead to a temporary improvement in dyspnea or the work of breathing.

Oral, Rat: LD&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 1510 mg/kg</mechanism-of-toxicity>
  <metabolism>Rapidly hydrolyzed (60% within seven hours) and then excreted in the urine, with beta-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-lactic acid as its major urinary metabolite.Half Life: 1 hour</metabolism>
  <toxicity>Oral, Rat: LD&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 1510 mg/kg</toxicity>
