A member asked:
For clearing mucus from lungs which one is better to use? tablets or liquid form?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No difference: No drugs are very effective to help clear mucus. Assuming the liquid or tablets you are trying have the same active ingredients (e.g. guaifenesin), either one is as good as the other. Use whichever seems to work best for you.
