Spotless Speed Cleaning!

Can Tussin-V speed up the tar cleaning process in your lungs?

I assume it would since it speed up the cilia in ones lungs.

It’s a good thought. But it won’t speed up the tar cleaning process. Tussin-V makes lung secretions thinner and less sticky, thus easier to cough up. It makes it easier for the cilia to then push it out, but Tussin V doesn’t make the cilia move any faster. Also, it works best on mucousy type secretions, but tar isn’t mucous. I don’t know for sure that Tussin V doesn’t thin out tar or make it less sticky, but I highly doubt it.
