pseudovent

Avatar n tn yes, well sort of. It's Guaifenesin an ingredient found in cough meds. You can usually find a store brand of robitussin that has only Guaifenesin in it. The ingredient is made to break up mucus, but if taken while you ovulate it can make your CM more compatible with sperm.
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
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.
1047147 tn?1328906154 Robitussin is the most common brand name, at least in the U.S., that carries a guaifenesin-only expectorant, but there are other brands and generics available. As long as the only active ingredient is guaifenesin, you can use any variety you find. For those with diabetes or otherwise concerned about sugar intake, there is the brand Diabetic Tussin available. What is the recommended dose of guaifenesin?
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.
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 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.
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 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!!!
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 I take the mucinex orally once in morning and once at night. The mucinex D is the decongestiant kind and it is for drying up the mucus where just plain mucinex has the same ingredient as robutissin and it is an expectorant. It has just the Guaifenesin as the only ingredient.
Avatar f tn My Dr told me only regular mucinex (guaifenesin) only.
Avatar n tn Try drinking more water, this is the easiest way to thin secretions. Also try the guaifenesin(Mucinex), this is an expectorant and will think mucus also. Your MD will probably give you some meds as well.
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).
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 m tn t want to get Mucinex which has other ingredients, but plain guaifenesin. Also, take 500 mg of vitamin B5. That is also a mucolytic. No side effects. Are you seeing a family doctor or a lung MD?
Avatar m tn I live in Plain City, Utah. My problem is I have mucus in my throat and me and my family have been wondering how I can get rid of it.

453798 tn?1262633421 I ended up taking Mucinex DM.. its like 1200mg of Guaifenesin in each tablet. It did help, but not as much as when I was not on Clomid. Having more is awesome! From what I understand.. the more the better!
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 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 m tn u think u r probably just getting a cold or the flu
