XTRELUS is an oral combination tablet containing guaifenesin (expectorant) and hydrocodone bitartrate (opioid antitussive), approved in April 2018 for cough and respiratory symptoms. Guaifenesin thins mucus secretions while hydrocodone suppresses cough reflex via central nervous system depression. This is a Schedule II controlled substance combination product.
