4.0 out of 5 stars Mucinex Is a Must for Sinus Sufferers!, January 1, 2008

Being a long-time sinus sufferer, I found the benefits of guiafenesin years before it became "MUCINEX". Without it, my sinuses get plugged and irritated within a few days, setting me up for recurrent infections. It works as an "expectorant" which means it helps keep the mucus thinned so your sinuses can clear more easily and don't become a breeding ground for bacteria and /or viruses.
As a clinic-based, practicing RN, I know that Mucinex / guiafenesin is often recommended by physicians, and is a safe product with very few side effects or drug interactions. (NO, I'm not getting paid by anyone to say any of this!)
Mucinex in this Extended Release formula minimizes the number of daily doses down to once or twice daily depending on your personal needs. This 100 tablet bottle is definitely the cheapest way to purchase - I had been getting it at WalMart for the past few years (until my smart sister told me to check for it on Amazon :-) in the 40 tablet bottles for almost $20 per bottle!
If you have sinus problems, especially chronic ones, or are prone to recurring infections, Mucinex is certainly worth a try.

I use this everyday, all year long. I have lung problems due to an illness that I inherited, and this really helps. It was recommended by an ear, nose, and throat doctor along the time it came out. The last place I ordered it from was a seller through Amazon, DAB Nutrition; the price could not be beat.

If you have any kind of lung or breathing problem(s), give this a try; it does what it says, is easy to swallow(and I have problems swallowing pills), and does not interfere with any of my many medications. You WILL notice a difference.

Have been using Mucinex when it was still a prescription med. The price I paid for this bottle of 100 tablets (approximately $25) is by far the best price I have ever found. I also believe it to be superior to the generics I have also used. If Amazon continues the good price, I will continue to purchase here.
