Mucinex Chest Congestion, 12 Hour Extended Release Tablets, 68ct, 600 mg Guaifenesin Relieves Chest Congestion Caused by Excess Mucus, #1 Doctor Recommended OTC Expectorant

Great product. Works 12 hours.

They are as in store. Good exp. date 2026. Much better price and this is our 3 or 4 purchase.

Mom was diagnosed with Influenza Type A in late November 2022.I'm a retired RN and was away for 1 weekend; when I returned, mom was very ill. Dusted off my stethoscope and listened to her lungs. Rattles and lots of moisture!Called her Dr. immediately & took mom into the ER. After many tests and several hours she was diagnosed.I started her on Mucinex 1 tablet every 12 hours, pushed fluids (hot drinks) and freshened up her bed. Gave her Tylenol for aches. She slept a lot & I watched over her 24/7 for 6 weeks. With her Cardiologist and Primary doctors I reviewed all her meds plus the OTC I wanted to give her.With their approval I increased the Mucinex to 2 tablets every 12 hours.I fed mom a high protein/ easy to digest menu with fruits and vegetables. I also gave her Vitamin D and Vitamin K daily (always cleared with the doctors).It has taken mom until now, mid February 2023 to regain SOME of her strength.With a prescribed nebulizer, I gave respiratory therapy 3 X a day here at home. (She was too weak to use an inhaler.)I monitored mom's oxygen saturation at home and made her perform breathing exercises 3 X a day, too.So much of what mom needed was home-made food and quiet rest. She was never hospitalized, thank God.It took about 3-4 weeks for mom's lungs to clear. Mucinex really helped thin her secretions so she could cough them up & OUT! I am so grateful I had an arsenal of good support from her docs, a quiet environment at her home, and coffee to keep me up during those long days watching her & cooking.We also used Mucinex nasal spray for her stuffy nose, which helped her very much.I keep Mucinex handy for times when I know a chest cold can happen. I bought the 68 tablet boxes here on Amazon because the local drug stores charged far more --- when they had it.I was unsure mom could recover during the first weeks of her illness. I made a schedule of medications so I could ensure she received her meds, treatments, and meals at reasonable times. Anybody can do this for your elders or young adults to help them recover. Rest is just as important as the medications.

This product is much easier to swallow than the extra strength version I see in my local stores. If I feel I need extra strength then I can simply take 2, one at a time.

Will be ordering again

Yes it did help with chest congestion, but literally nothing else. I just assumed any Mucinex would also help with my other symptoms and it did not. I couldn’t take it because I needed something that helped with all my cold symptoms and not just the chest congestion. My fault, but a bit misleading based on it being labeled as Mucinex

My pulmonologist recommended I get the exact 12 hour 1200 mg Mucinex for the problems I was having with post nasal drip, from my allergies. I take it twice a day, like clockwork and haven't been able to breathe better in so long I can't even remember.Yes, it's a little pricey and you can probably get a different version for a cheaper price, but I don't know if the quality would be the same. This one has never let me down. I've purchased it many times and the only thing I wish could be different, is that they were smaller.If you're not good with taking pills, you may look for a smaller size option. These are large, but they're not chalky or hard to swallow, in my opinion. Just large, and sometimes that can be an issue for some.Otherwise, I'll continue to use it, continue to recommend it, (my aunt's now take it too and are thankful also), and I'd give it another 5 star rating if asked.Thank you! Great product!

Came when I needed them. Sometimes it is hard to find them where I live. They were very well packaged.
