"I would ‘t give this product a single star if I had the choice. I took 2 Mucinex FM capsules at 5pm. I woke at 3am 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 Antihisan which helped a little. I even had a couple of welts by my left eye. It was 9am 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!"

"First, this 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 you 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. Doc said - lucky I came in when I did, cuz 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 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 simple it as that, don't bash it cause it may very well work for some one else quit. The old guy."

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