Banex

Generic Name: guaifenesin/phenylephrine/phenylpropanolamine (gwye FEN e sin/fen ill EFF rin/fen ill proe pa NOLE a meen)

Brand Names: Ami-Tex, Banex, Dura-Gest, Duratex, Enomine, Entex, Fentex, Guaifenex, Phenylfenesin, Quintex

What is Banex (guaifenesin/phenylephrine/phenylpropanolamine)?

Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It is used to break up congestion and mucous to ease breathing. Guaifenesin thins mucous, increases lubrication of the respiratory tract (lungs, nose, and throat), and increases the removal of mucous.

Phenylpropanolamine and phenylephrine are decongestants. They constrict (shrink) blood vessels (veins and arteries), which reduces the swelling of mucous membranes in areas such as the nose and sinuses.

Guaifenesin/phenylephrine/phenylpropanolamine is used to treat the symptoms of the common cold and of infections of your sinuses, your lungs, and your throat.

Phenylpropanolamine, an ingredient in this product, has been associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding into the brain or into tissue surrounding the brain) in women. Men may also be at risk. Although the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is low, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that consumers not use any products that contain phenylpropanolamine.

Guaifenesin/phenylephrine/phenylpropanolamine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
