Great rroduct but save $ by buying immediate release tablets
I have used extended release guaifenesin (the active drug in Mucinex) for many years to help with sinus drainage and chronic bronchitis. It really works to clear out the lungs and my MD tells me it helps reduce sinus drainage as well. I stocked up on the prescription form of guaifenesin just before the FDA pulled all extended release guaifenesin from the market except...

Very effective, though expensive expectorant...
...which is why I give it 3, not 5 stars. It used to be called Humibid (Nathan Lane thanked it in one of his Tony Award acceptance speaches), was obtained by prescription, and if you had a prescription drug program, you could get about 120 six hundred mg. pills for $10.00. The active ingredient is Guaifenisin, and it is quite an effective expectorant, especially if you...

Great rroduct but save $ by buying immediate release tablets, December 5, 2005
This review is from: Mucinex Expectorant, Bi-Layer Tablets, 100-Count Bottle (Health and Beauty)
I have used extended release guaifenesin (the active drug in Mucinex) for many years to help with sinus drainage and chronic bronchitis. It really works to clear out the lungs and my MD tells me it helps reduce sinus drainage as well. I stocked up on the prescription form of guaifenesin just before the FDA pulled all extended release guaifenesin from the market except for Mucinex. The reason for this action was somewhat esoteric and it allowed Mucinex to have a monopoly on the extended release form. Well, my horde of prescription guaifenesin finally ran out and I started using Mucinex. It works that same as the old prescription drugs because it is the same thing (they are both extended release guaifenesin). But, Mucinex is very expensive. So, I switched to immediate relase guaifenesin and found that it works just as well at a significant cost savings. The only thing is that you will have to take more immediate release tablets to equal a 12-hour extended release tablet. If you can't let go of the Mucinex, consider taking the immediate release during the day and Mucinex at night. You will save a lot of money. Mucinex is the only extended release tablet on the market. So, if it is guaifenesin and it is not Mucinex then it is an immediate release tablet. Check the price differences.

Life saver!! Am I am not kidding, December 30, 2005
This review is from: Mucinex Expectorant, Bi-Layer Tablets, 100-Count Bottle (Health and Beauty)
I have problems with so many of the infection fighting meds on the market. They cause bad side effects, and often do not do what they should. This last go around over $1000 in medications and each round made the problem WORSE.
I took two of these tables and they stopped on an oncoming attack of bronchitis. But to my surprise they knocked out a sinuses infection that had been dragging on for two months.
I could have save $1000 if I have these from the start.
Amazing stuff.

Great results and the best price out there!, October 20, 2005
This review is from: Mucinex Expectorant, Bi-Layer Tablets, 100-Count Bottle (Health and Beauty)
This medication really keeps your lungs clear, no side effects with my other medications, and the price is the BEST out there. Amazon, keep it up with the great prices on what we need. Wal-Mart can't match your prices or selection of products!!!

Very effective, though expensive expectorant..., January 4, 2007
This review is from: Mucinex Expectorant, Bi-Layer Tablets, 100-Count Bottle (Health and Beauty)
...which is why I give it 3, not 5 stars. It used to be called Humibid (Nathan Lane thanked it in one of his Tony Award acceptance speaches), was obtained by prescription, and if you had a prescription drug program, you could get about 120 six hundred mg. pills for $10.00. The active ingredient is Guaifenisin, and it is quite an effective expectorant, especially if you take the maximum dose of 1200 mg., twice daily.
I suppose drug companies make more money by selling it over the counter, which is why they do it, and Amazon is the best price I found (about $5.00 cheaper than CVS),so that's just over 4 times as expensive as the 'good old Humibid days'. There are cheaper generic brands which come in 400 mg. pills, but so far the ones I've tried produce an uncomfortable 'flushing' affect...but that's just me. Thanks, Martin Vidnovic

Mucinex is an excellent product. It really helps with my asthma. I don't know where I'd be without it.

truly awesome!, November 10, 2005
This review is from: Mucinex Expectorant, Bi-Layer Tablets, 100-Count Bottle (Health and Beauty)
I used to use the prescription form of this several years ago, but had to stop because it severely dehydrated me. My doctor recommended this for me when I had a sinus infection, and I have to say, it works wonders - with no dehydration. I will definitely keep using this!

Mucinex is a life saver, March 8, 2007
This review is from: Mucinex Expectorant, Bi-Layer Tablets, 100-Count Bottle (Health and Beauty)
My husband has a serious asthma condition and takes several prescribed medications on a daily basis. Mucinex augments the prescribed medications and keeps his lungs clear. He is unable to expel mucous in his lungs without the Mucinex, and we consider this product a life saver.

Mucinex Expectorant, Bi-Layer Tablets, January 9, 2007
This review is from: Mucinex Expectorant, Bi-Layer Tablets, 100-Count Bottle (Health and Beauty)
Prescribed by a pulmonologist for COPD.
Good price when purchased in 100's rather than in 20's or 40's.
Fast delivery. Satisfactory service.

best price around for an excellent product, November 10, 2006
This review is from: Mucinex Expectorant, Bi-Layer Tablets, 100-Count Bottle (Health and Beauty)
My doctor prescribed Mucinex and it does the job perfectly well. I have been purchasing the product at retail prices and even on sale, or at COSTCO or BJ's, the price has always been higher than Amazon. I will be purchasing the larger size next time which will save me even more.
