I have at least 5 bottle books and this isn't in there. I found one on line with no price. It says it has Heroine in it! I'll write to them if I can't figure it out myself. I can also try the bottle website. Is anyone familar with it here? I think it's rare.

Know of the plant being used for many things. Found this site to help explain the shrub that is found here in Texas, Arizona and Florida.
Guaifenesin first made its appearance as early as 1530 as guaiacum, an extract from the bark of the guaiac tree. It was first used to treat back pain related to syphilis and was soon used to treat rheumatism, a proof of its analgesic effect. In the 1980s, a synthetic form was born, an eponymous medicine made available as tablets. Guaifenesin is used today for cold and cough remedies.

I found the second one and wrote to them. I'm hoping to get an answer.
