The purpose of this medicine is to flush the virus out through your nose. You're supposed to lie down and let it drain out your nose. It's horrible, it's disgusting. But it will get you back on your feet twice as soon, and with no problems with mucus draining into your lungs or stomach.
Which means combining it with a decongestant only defeats the purpose. Besides, phenylephedrine is a placebo for 95% of people. Yes, it only works on 5% of the population. Pseudoephedrine is much more effective, but access is usually controlled and monitored due to the methamphetamine production industry. You should only want to use a decongestant to sleep.
This is the original, with no decongestant. It works as it was always intended to work. And it works well.

I tried the generic brands but they never helped. I was told by a pharmacist the fillers aren't the same. The cost here is so much more reasonable than in a store. This product works miracles.

There are times that I have bad allergies. An allergist (doctor) put me onto Mucinex (more precisely, guaifenesin, the active ingredient). For me, it helps loosen the "gnarly stuff" so I can expel it, which in turn prevents build-up from causing more severe symptoms or even infection.

Mucinex is my go-to for OTC variant of the drug, because they maintain known quality standards. It's the company's "flagship" for the guaifenesin drug group. This particular label is the Maximum Strength with Extended Release.

I want to make clear what Mucinex is not. This is NOT intended as a cough suppressant, a replacement for asthma medicine, nor one of the "fix all symptoms" flu reliefs. It can help alleviate some of the chest congestion of a flu, and it might help prevent secondary infections. (Ask your medical provider if that's best for you--or your mom. :) )

Note: This specific product has no decongestant. You can buy two other forms of Mucinex with decongestants, usually packaged with DM on the label in the US.

I wake up with stuffy nose every morning and runny nose so that’s why I purchased this item that hopefully will clear my head out. The AC and heat in and out always makes it worse.
