Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
During this same period of time, HCPs will report treatment satisfaction via electronic case report forms (eCRFs), and will also have the ability to spontaneously report any treatment-emergent adverse events.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* A Pulmonary Function Test with FEV1/FVC less than 0.7 (70%) at the time of enrollment or at least a 10 year history of cigarette abuse.
* Patients who have chronic sputum production 3 months out of the year for 2 consecutive years and a productive cough as part of their symptoms.
* Patients who understand and are able to fill out a questionnaire and ePRO weekly
* Patients who have not used guaifenesin containing products within one month of the time of study enrollment
* Patients with 6 to 12 (ideally 12)-month historical data - retrieved from either electronic medical records (EMR), electronic health records (EHRs), or provided by the patient via interview.
Rescue medicine:
• No rescue medicine will be provided. Information regarding concurrent rescue medications, either OTC or via prescription, will be collected.
Exclusion Criteria
* Participation in another study involving an investigational product within 30 days of the baseline visit
* Pulmonary diagnosis other than CB, (such as cystic fibrosis, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, bronchiectasis, or pulmonary fibrosis)
* Active lung cancer or history of lung cancer if it has been less than 2 years since lung resection or other treatment including chemotherapy or radiation. If the patient has a history of lung cancer, they must be in remission
* Psychiatric disorder that precludes participation in the study
* History of alcohol and/or drug abuse within one year of study start
* Patients taking intermittent antibiotics and patients taking oral and systemic corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone at a dose of \> 10 mg/day).
* Patients on a chronic stable dose of macrolide antibiotics at the start of the study may be included at the discretion of the Principal Investigator.
* Patients who had an acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis within a period of one month of starting the study that required systematic steroids or antibiotics
* Hypersensitivity to guaifenesin, or any other excipient listed in the product.
