Avatar f tn Can Mucinex (Guaifenesin) cause gastritis or irritate existing gastritis/ulcer? I was taking Mucinex for 5 days, 400mg once a day, and now my stomach is bothering me (burning pain). I have suffered from gastritis and a gastric ulcer in the past. Could this medication cause or aggravate those problems? It was actually helping my sinuses to drain, but now I'm afraid to take it.
Avatar f tn Guaifenesin, an expectorant (Hytuss, Mucinex, Naldecon Senior EX, Robitussin) Dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant (Benylin Adult, Robitussin Maximum Strength Cough, Scot-Tussin DM, Vicks 44 Cough Relief) Guaifenesin plus dextromethorphan (Benylin Expectorant, Robitussin DM, Vicks 44E) Cough drops Vicks VapoRub But I would recommend going to the doctor for them to prescribe u it so ur 100% sure it's safe to take while pregnant
199914 tn?1295890047 t have guaifenesin in it while is suppose to help thin out your cervical mucus so I saw that I had Mucinex D left over so I was going to try and see if that works this month. I have 5 of them so I will start taking it on the 15 and stop taking it on the 19th. But if anyone has heard of Mucinex D working in helping get pregnant let me know! Thank you for your help.
Avatar f tn It requires you to take upto, but not limited to 2400mg of guaifenesin (Mucinex) daily. He says that with this protocol, you will notice that your symptoms will at first become worse, but will gradually disappear. He swears this is the way to reverse fibro. Now, when I heard this, I was obviously a little skepticle (who wouldn't be when you are told that Mucinex is the cure for fibro!) So I wanted to know if anyone here has heard of or tried this approach.
1047147 tn?1328906154 Whats with the Mucinex/ robitussin????? I've heard a couple people take this???? I dont know it might be me.... Or just the posts i read?
Avatar n tn The alternative is guaifenesin, which you can buy over-the-counter. Mucinex contains guaifenesin, but I would get the plain guaifenesin. It works very well.
Avatar f tn My Dr told me only regular mucinex (guaifenesin) only.
Avatar f tn Just read somewhere about Guaifenesin helping in getting you pregnant by thinning your cervical fluid, which enables sperm to travel through your cervix and fertilize an egg. Read this: http://www.babycenter.com/404_can-taking-cough-syrup-help-me-conceive_1336322.bc Hope it helps. Am thinking of giving it a try. SSBD to all!!!
1083673 tn?1388888638 NOT Mucinex DM, ect) only Mucinex (or store brand) with the only active ingredient is guaifenesin, and it contains 100 mg per teaspoon. I hear there is new product that is specially designed for women with cm issues... I thinnk it is Fertile CM. But I do not know anything about it... maybe the internet? It doesnt hep create cervical mucus, it just thins it.
Avatar n tn This helps calm the effects of allergy drainage, which can upset the stomach and cause a sore throat. The other thing I do is take 1200 mg. guaifenesin (Mucinex or generic), once in the morning and again at bedtime. This thins mucus so that it *will* drain, also allowing the throat more moisture. I have also come across mention of people using guaifenesin in their treatment of fibromyalgia (https://www.drugs.com/comments/guaifenesin/for-fibromyalgia.html).
Avatar f tn Cough or cold Guaifenesin, an expectorant (Hytuss, Mucinex, Naldecon Senior EX, Robitussin) Dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant (Benylin Adult, Robitussin Maximum Strength Cough, Scot-Tussin DM, Vicks 44 Cough Relief) Guaifenesin plus dextromethorphan (Benylin Expectorant, Robitussin DM, Vicks 44E) Cough drops Vicks VapoRub Not safe to take: Cold remedies that contain alcohol The decongestants pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine, which can affect blood flow to the placenta
Avatar f tn Does anyone use decongestants (Guiefenesin found in cough syrup & cold meds) to help CM to be a good consistency? I heard it helps the sperm get through more easily. A friend of mine was TTC for five years and her husband had low motility. She started taking cough syrup and within 6-12 months, got pregnant and miscarried a few weeks in (in Nov.) & now is 5 weeks pregnant again and everything is looking good. I have been TTC for two years and am wondering if I should try it. Is it safe?
Avatar f tn ve been told I should take Robitussin or Mucinex to increase CM. I also just bought Pre-Seed (FINALLY... I really bought it this time!). So how much am I supposed to take? My husband had to buy the Mucinex for Kids because it was the only one that met the 100mg guaifenesin requirement (the others had other ingredients and higher mg). Also, has anyone here taken either of these meds to increase CM and did it work for you?
Avatar f tn starting clomid preeseed & mucinex this cycle never used preseed or mucinex before. how many mg do i need a day and i got DM is that right or did i need plain or D?????? should be starting af in next day or two if i dont get bfp this cycle so fast instructuins would be greatly appreciated!
1240856 tn?1333440354 Lately I've noticed the same about mine. I talked to the RE about it since it seemed like when I would get pregnant it was always months where I was sick and on cough medication. I was told preseed is good also the nurse recommended since I've been on clomid and the cm has been little to none around ovulation time that I could take mucinex. It has the same ingredient as the plain robitussin just don't get the mucinex dm.
1190279 tn?1324936257 I used Mucinex which has the same ingredient (guaifenesin) in it as Robitussin, but it does not taste bad because it is a pill. I used it for my 2nd round of Clomid and I am now 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant!!! I started it 3 days after my last Clomid pill and continued to take it until I knew I had ovulated. I took 600 mg once per day. I hope that helps!
Avatar m tn I called and asked and she just said to also take phenlyeprine (sudaphed PE) and guaifenesin (Mucinex). These help quite a bit, but they make me jittery and queasy, I have to pee really often, and I'm still sleepy from the other stuff, and I still have some congestion and sore throat. So what do I do now? Did I just get really horrible genetics and there's nothing I can do?
Avatar n tn For OTC cough syrup, I use Delsym (Dextromethorphan polistirex) or Mucinex (Guaifenesin). I've never had a problem with either, and I'd consider myself fairly sensitive to cold medications. When I need the big guns, I get my PCP to prescribe Tussionex (chlorpheniramine and hydrocodone) aka. "Liquid Gold". I love this stuff. It's expensive, hence the name. But you WILL stop coughing, and you WILL sleep!
4916735 tn?1360986597 I take mucinex which has helped a bit. I also take Benadryl. It helps. I take smaller dosages, but it has helped me.
Avatar n tn You can get a mucolytic (mucus thinner) called guaifenesin over-the-counter. Mucinex contains gauifenesin but I would get the plain guaifenesin. Vitamin B5 also thins mucus. He would have to take 500 mg a day. No side effects. Then there are anti-inflammatories, among them Vitamin C. Of course, stopping smoking would help the most, but you have had no success in that area. Maybe once he gets more comfortable at reducing the coughing he will think about quitting.

Avatar m tn My 1 year old, Olde English Bulldog weights around 60 lbs jumped on counter about 3 hours ago and ate 2 Mucinex-d from packaging. There was 3 pills left in package and 2 are missing, The third pill looked chewed on but was left on the ground packaging is all chewed up. Mucinex D active ingredients are 600 mg guaifenesin and 60 mg pseudoephedrine. Please help do i need to take to emergency vet or will he be ok? he has been acting ok and he has eaten his food and drink water since.
1102149 tn?1259692962 I took over the counter generic mucinex with only active ingredient guafenesin in Oct. and got my BFP in Nov. So, I can't say it helped but who knows. I did notice more CM throughout my cycle and not really being dry like I'm used to. LOL I hope this helps. I have heard people talk about pre-seed and EPO too. Doesn't hurt to try stuff. Good luck...
Avatar m tn A temporary solution would be to buy some Mucinex, or anything containing Guaifenesin, There is a product at Walgreens called Mucus Relief Plus which contains guaifenesin, acetaminophen, and phenylephrine. Overall, this sounds like rhinitis, but I would get it checked by a doctor. Other items to consider as only possibilities: 1. Thyroid - Sometimes people with thyroid problems may feel, what they think is mucus, (and it could be...extra mucus building up to protect the gland) 2.
