There isn't a tablet form of just plain guaifenesin available OTC, at least in the United States. Oddly, guaifenesin is widely available as an ingredient in cough syrup (Robitussin DM) and allergy/cold remedies (Sudefed Non-Drying Sinus). I wouldn't recommend these "combination" OTC medications for singers to use on a regular basis. Ask your doctor for a prescription for guaifenesin tablets.
