For Cough "The doctor gave me a sample of this when I complained of congestion. I took two tablets, which may have been too much since I developed the runs. I'll try it again, but only one tablet. Or, I may just get Robitussin since the doctor said that Mucinex is a magnified version of Robitussin."

For Cough "I highly recommend drinking large amounts of water with this medication. I was not aware to do so because it was nowhere to be found on the label, and it resulted in vomiting and the runs. After hours of this and speaking with a nurse, I was able to get it under control. Will not ever take again."

For Cough "About an hour and a half after taking one Mucinex DM, I developed severe dizziness, drowsiness, bad intestinal cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea that recurred over a period of 2 hours. It was the only medication in my system."
