Why take two doses of guaifenesin per day?
Guaifenesin has a very short half-life, a short span of action on the body. It is very quickly excreted, unlike some drugs, which can stay in your system a number of days, or some substances that never leave. This is why you should divide your dose into two, about 12 hours apart. A few people divide their dose in three and find that works for them. But if you were to take all of your daily dose at one time, half of your day your body would be without the benefit of the action of guaifenesin on the kidneys, and you would slow, or stop your recovery.Back To TopCan you stop taking guaifenesin briefly? Yes, of course, but we don’t recommend it unless you absolutely need to stop for something important you have to do and you can’t while cycling or to begin again titurating your dose due to not being sure you are at the correct one. Some who stop go into a flare.
