Every time I’ve ever taken this shitty product, I’ve not noticed a difference.

Still can’t breathe a couple hours after taking it.




Musinex D is their only product i would use. have to go the the pharmacist and show ID but it works.

I’ve found if you snort it, it is much more effective.

Mucinex D, 2 full glasses of water.

Or just go with Claritin D if its allergies.

Either way, the good stuff requires an ID check.

DayQuil for the win. I would avoid Afrin because it can cause that rebound congestion

Are you Illiterate?

I studied drugs for 4 years. Nowhere on a Mucinex box does it say that its for nasal congestion. The only labeled indication is for Chest Congestion

I was always told that mucinex needed to be taken and drink plenty of water. Combined it thins the mucus


Very true.. and another reason for making sure to have plenty of water nearby is those tablets can be pretty chalky/ have this weird coating on them that makes them a little more difficult to swallow

I always bring this up to patients doing consults on the floor . To make sure nobody gets choked or something because of it

No, smart guy, I’m not. This is what the box says.



You see where it says Nasal congestion and nasal decongestant on the fricking box?
