Mucinex (guaifenesin) "Seriously the worst! Slightly numbs my tongue but not my throat. I’ve never tried a cough drop that doesn’t work. I thought because it’s a good brand they’d be great. But it’s awful. Now I’m sick, and snowed in so I can’t go to the store, and stuck with these horrible cough drops!"

"Have taken Mucinex for years and it works great! I wish they would put something on the label letting us know it will make your urine smell awful though. This is the first time I noticed this and it was intense. Thought I was going to have to send my urine off for cytology, then I turned to Google and found these reviews. Sure am relieved."

Mucinex (guaifenesin) "Very effective for the sinus congestion and sinus drip. However, continuous use resulted in leg cramps at night. Interfered with sleep. Research says that it can reduce blood flow to legs."

Mucinex (guaifenesin) "Works okay, but for serious cough problems, get prescription-level medicine. Does help bring up phlegm. Drink lots of water, it will help bring up the mucus faster."
