"I think it is a great medicine for me. Many say yes and no, it depends on the person. I have COPD. It really helps this old guy. If it doesn't work for you, don't take it simple, it’s as that. Don't bash it, 'cause it may very well work for someone else, quit. The old guy."

"Mucinex definitely helped break up the congestion, and I started being able to cough up thick mucus. Do not take a suppressant if you have a chesty cold or bronchitis, as it hinders you from getting mucus up and out of you. I drank lots of hot tea with honey and lemon, which I believed also helped. I doubled my vitamin C. I'm 60, and until this, I hadn’t been ill in over 12 years, not even a runny nose."

"The jury is still out, but three days in now (pill form, max strength, 1200 mg) and I'm still coughing up little to no mucus. The little bit of mucus that I am expelling I attribute more to the humidifier than to Mucinex."

"First, this is not the medicine if you have bronchitis, this condition is the excessive coughing that will make your chest hurt without medicine. Taking guaifenesin, which is the ingredient that loosens phlegm & makes you cough MORE. Bronchitis does NOT need this kind of help, you are coughing as a result of bronchitis. Taking guaifenesin will make you cough up bits of lung tissue along with any phlegm. If your phlegm has red in it - STOP taking this stuff & go see a doctor - you may need to go on antibiotics especially if your bronchitis has not improved after 3 weeks. Take it from me, I waited until 5 weeks & my doc said, 'WHY DIDN'T YOU COME IN SOONER?' I said I thought it would go away, but it didn't. The doc said - lucky I came in when I did, 'cause if I had gone longer - it may have turned into rheumatic fever, which is very dangerous left untreated. Normal phlegm, it's fine for, but if it makes you cough so much you are having your lunch come up - it's too potent, and you need to see a doctor!"

"I wouldn't give this product a single star if I had the choice. I took 2 Mucinex FM capsules at 5 pm. I woke at 3 am with the worst hives I have ever had over at least half of my body. They were worst on the front of my thighs, the back of my upper arms, and my stomach and back. The itch was almost unbearable. I rubbed on Antihistamine, which helped a little. I even had a couple of welts by my left eye. It was 9 am the next day before I was itch-free and hive-free. It was frightening to have such an adverse reaction, not normal for me at all. The packet of meds has gone into the rubbish bin. Never again!"

"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!"

"This med works great for congestion associated with a cold. As someone else stated... It does give you some really strange dreams though!"

"This is the only medicine that helps loosen nasal mucus without the side effects like sleepiness or jitters that most of the sinus medications give me. It's great!"

"I took it for about 8 days, and when taking the one every 12 hours and plenty of liquids along with Nyquil... I am so much better. Should be good in a few more days!"

"It is working very well, but make absolutely sure you drink plenty of water. Without the water, you will likely have a dry cough yielding no phlegm --- not good!!"

"I had tried this product in 2005, and it was not effective. So I gave it another chance to so-called redeem itself. Well, this is definitely not for me, it made me feel worse. I developed a headache."

"I'm on my second box of Mucinex and really haven't seen any improvement in my bronchitis. Either I need a stronger medication (I got the Fast Max, and I'm still congested) or it's not bronchitis."

"Mucinex takes seven hours before it begins to work for me. This is way too long. Too much money for a drug that used to be reliable."

"Took Mucinex once yesterday and was fine but a bit nauseous from it, even with food, today the second dose made me throw up and feel absolutely awful within an hour. Would not recommend."
