Guaifenesin is an expectorant which reduces adhesiveness and surface tension of congealed mucus in the upper respiratory tract to increase flow of mucous, stimulating and increasing efficiency of the cilia to remove the accumulated mucus. Terbutaline causes pharmacological effects. This is assigned to stimulation via beta-adrenergic receptors of the intracellular adenyl cyclase.
