Guaifenesin "I have read multiple scientific studies of Mucinex comparing it to placebo. Scientists claim there was zero benefit from Mucinex. The drug is expensive and does not have any clinical test results they can point to about its efficacy. You are much better off inhaling steam, drinking plenty of fluids, sleeping with a humidifier, and using some kind of prescription bronchodilator like Flovent to keep your lungs from getting tight. In severe cases, you should probably try prednisone in the form of pills or try a bronchodilator. Over-the-counter medication is a poor substitute for seeing your doctor and taking the medicine that actually works!"
