While guaifenesin is the most widely recognized active ingredient, several other compounds also serve as expectorants. For example, potassium iodide, which has been used for many years, can promote mucus secretion. This is particularly useful in certain patient populations, such as those with chronic bronchitis or cystic fibrosis. However, potassium iodide is less common in modern formulations because of potential side effects, including thyroid dysfunction and gastrointestinal irritation.
