Mucinex Maximum Strength Reviews
For Cough "I take an MAOI so I can't use decongestants. I take Mucinex when I start getting a cold or flu. It relieves my cough and congestion, keeps my lungs clear. Yes, it gives me a runny nose but that's what it's supposed to do, thin the mucous so you can get rid of it. My coughs are fewer and those I have are productive. Drinking a lot of water of other liquid is essential. I suspect some of the negative reviews are from folks who didn't drink enough. Personally I would recommend giving it a try, with lots of fluids."
For Bronchitis "This medicine doesn't work for me well... it made my nose more stuffy, dried my throat out, and kept me up... everytime I tried to sleep I would wake up coughing and feeling nausea and it seems to produce more mucus... drink lots of water!! seriously ..! But this will be my last time taking mucinex its not for everybody and its defintely not for me"
For Cough "Have COPD and am taking this for mucus and cough every 4 hours. Can't swallow pill so taking liquid. The taste is so strong it sometimes makes me cough forever. Can a small amount of water be added to dose?"
For Cough "This is the first time I have experienced symptoms of Coronavirus. I did take the flu shot spite not being vaccinated for the Corona. I have always stood by Mucinex for years before the invasion of virus. And, Mucinex hasn't floundered not one time. My Coronavirus experience was harsh but without Mucinex being part of my supportive intervention plan. Mucinex has assisted in my recovery of the Corona. The Mucinex helped me endure the onset of pain and struggles to breath as well as body aches. Taken as instructed on the box am thankful."
For Cough "Two-bottle package of Mucinex Fast-Max and Nightshift. Over $20 but it would have been worth it if it worked. Started with Nightshift and the next day I took the Fast-Max. Not one bit of improvement in any of my symptoms. Waste of money."
For Cough "I have been coughing for several weeks. Took cough suppressant and nothing worked. Took Mucinex Dm yesterday and coughing is mostly gone. I feel a lot better."
For Bronchitis "I have COPD and Mucinex maximum work good for me , was wonderng why you say do not break or chew in half ? and can this be taken everyday ,12 hour ? or as needed when mucus come, cold , etc ,etc ."
For Cough "Musinex Max strength did not work for me, doctor recommended,"
