Pseudoepherine has a direct and indirect sympathomimetic activity and is an effective upper respiratory tract. guaiphenesin is thought to exert its pharmacological action by stimulating receptors in the gastric mucosa. This possesses minimal anticholinergic activity. Tripolidine provides symptomatic relief in conditions believed to depend wholly or partly upon the triggered release of histamine. Guaiphenesin is thought to exert its pharmacological action by stimulating receptors in the gastric mucosa. This increases the output from secretory glands of the respiratory tract.The results is an increase in volume and decrease in viscosity of bronchial secretions.
