The bottle says "Tussin (Guaifensin Syrup, USP).

Guaifensin is the only active ingrediant right??

From WIKIPEDIA:
The United States Pharmacopeia is a compendium of quality control tests for drugs and exipients to be introduced into a medicinal formulation. It is published every year [1] by the United States Pharmacopoeial Convention. It forms the basis of enforcement actions by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the US Drug Enforcement Administration and is the official pharmacopoeia of the U.S.A. and several other nations. Therefore, in case of a dispute those methods for, amongst others, identification, assay and purity determination of a drug substance or exipient which are stated in the USP will be the legally binding ones.
Within the field the compendium is referred to simply as the USP. Indeed the initials USP are affixed to materials' names to indicate that they conform to the specifications in the USP, and may be used medicinally.
