Mucinex (guaifenesin): Loosened the deep chested tightness and made it much easier to cough mucus up and out.

Mucinex (guaifenesin): First time Mucinex DM user. I like the extended relief because it really does provide extended relief from the severe coughing that is characteristic of bronchial infections. The medication did make me a little drowsy, so some caution is recommended especially if you are not able to take time off to rest. I also recommend drinking lots of fluid too. You may notice that your urine smells like the medication.

Mucinex (guaifenesin): This is the only medicine that helps loosens nasal mucus without the side effects like sleepiness or jitters that most of the sinus medications give me. It's great!

Mucinex (guaifenesin): This drug is a lifesaver for my wife, but take it at the very first sign of trouble, and drink lots of water with it.

Mucinex (guaifenesin): I've tried this twice, once for allergy related coughing and bronchitis. For some reason, for me, this medicine always makes me cough more than I need to. It does thin the phlegm and helps make my coughs productive, but when I need to sleep this isn't the medicine I can take at night. I use Robitussin DM for nighttime use.

guaifenesin: I have asthma and believe that most of my conditions are allergy related, however, when I started taking this medication my breathing ability was dramatically increased as much as if I had taken my rescue asthma inhaler. If I miss taking a dose after the 4 hour time as prescribed on the bottle I can tell immediately. If you have asthma you might want to try this product.

Mucinex (guaifenesin): Made coughing a lot easier after feeling like I was going to die from the phlegm that was blocking my air passage. I didn't give it a full 10 because it gave me a slight headache and a bit numb/tingling feeling all over my body but nothing to be alarmed about. Oh my goodness what a difference. I can breathe and finally sleep knowing I'm not going to choke to death. Thank you Mucinex.

Mucinex (guaifenesin): It works great, yet makes urine incredibly stinky.

Mucinex (guaifenesin): I've had bronchitis for several weeks now and this medicine made such a difference since I took it today. I am so grateful someone came up with this medicine. So far very pleased with the product.

Mucinex (guaifenesin): Mucinex works great for colds and to help get the nasty stuff up before it takes root in the lungs, but for Bronchitis you will definitely need something much stronger (see a doctor) unless you want to be sick for about 4 weeks.

guaifenesin: I was unaware of guaifenesin until a doctor prescribed some huge tablets for severe chest congestion and it worked great.

Mucinex (guaifenesin): My doctor recommend this for me when I had bronchitis. It worked wonders. Now every time I feel that wet cough coming back, I pull this out.
