guaifenesin for sinus pressure

I have had troubles with sinus for about 2 years now. It got way better after I moved out of Delhi. Almost cured. But the sinus journey in Delhi was quite agonizing and interesting at the same time. I would say your question is justified and the same used to be my question at one point of time. But I was clear about the answer. YES it is.

If the guaifenesin breaks up sinus mucus, it stands to reason that it will break up the mucus in your stomach. I got a wicked case of gastritis from mucinex. I deduced this was the reason why.

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?

I have random urine drug screens and random blood screens for alcohol. Am wanting to take Tylenol sinus congestion medicine. The ingredients are acetaminophen, guaifenesin, and phenylephrine. Will any of those ingredients caus a positive drug or alcohol test?

Again, be aware that a bacterial sinus infection can develop (significant facial pain/pressure, toothache, fever, thick yellow/green discharge). If you develop these, or your symptoms aren't resolving, go to your doctor. If you have other medical conditions, or are on other medications, please be sure to run them by your pharmacist before buying anything for your cold.

Hi Molly, I don't know if this is still relevant for you but I have chronic sinus pressure/congestion and it I am certain that is the cause of my chiari related headaches. I had the decompression surgery two years ago. Most of my symptoms are better. My neck is bothersome quite often, but I don't know if it is related to chiari or the fact that I have two cervical discs that herniate a couple times a year.

It is used on the fertility boards and newsgroups in the same manner as saying Band-Aid for an adhesive strip used to cover a cut. Any expectorant that contains guaifenesin as the only active ingredient is fine to use. What kind of Robitussin is used to improve cervical mucus? One should buy the plain kind with no letters after it. The only active ingredient is guaifenesin, and it contains 100 mg per teaspoon.

30-8pm prior to not drinking fluids for 3-4 hrs. if you hav 30 day cycle, u can start from CD 12-20. also for CM- i tried it on one month just to see if its work or not, its drinking ruby red grapfruit juice. regular grapfruit juice will work too, but ruby is sweeter. however, drinlk every 2-4 hrs then u will see very good amount of CM on the same day.

its more like an egg white if ovulation is near... any ways i've read that robitussin (guaifenesin), you should buy the plain one with no letters after it... robitussin can help loosen up cervical mucus... hope it helps....

Guaifenesin, how much is an Overdose? My daughter 11 years old 100 lbs (big for her age), took (the correct dose) 5mL cough and cold medicine that had the following in that dose. Guaifenesin, USP 100 mg, Dextromethorpan HBr, USP 10 mL. Phenylephedrine HCI, USB 5mg. But then she also took (the correct dose) 10 mg of a prescription medicine Guaifenesin-Codeine syrup (generic for Robitussin AC syrup). It doesn't state on the label the quantity of Guaifenesin mg in the 5mL dose.

m 26 and i have had this strange pressure on and off every hour or so for the last 3weeks (its not painful) just pressure behind my nose temples and forehead and it feels like the pressure moves around, like its never exactly the same pressure twice and it will last for 10-45mins its also been giving me a light lethargic cloudy head feeling (i only take 80mgs of diovan for BP (which is under control 120/78) ive had bad sinus infections before that inflamed and blocked up my Eustachian tubes and

One side effect of Mucolytics is bronchospasm and is therefore contraindicated for asthma patients. Guaifenesin, aka Robitussin, is an expectorant, and should be safe for asthma patients as long as is it is taken as directed. I am a nursing student and this is what I have learned on the subject so far. I stumbled on this question while I was researching the subject.

How do you relieve sinus pressure??? I feel like my head is going to explode. I've never had this kind of cold before and it's driving me crazy. I have class tomorrow and need to concentrate, since I have an exam coming up. Plus my professor isn't real nice about students missing class. Help??

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.

I just started taking clomid and i read to start the guaifenesin on day 10 till ovulation. On a website for fertility i read that you need to take 200mg three times a day!

But the fact is that this expectorant is used to loosen and thin mucus of a different kind too, called cervical mucus, in women. Robitussin is only a specific brand and any expectorant that contains guaifenesin as the only active ingredient can be used in its place. Generic versions are most likely available as well. Be sure to carefully inspect the ingredients list to make sure the ONLY active ingredient as guaifenesin. Any other ingredients can diminish the effect you are looking for.

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.

What meds do y'all take if sick? Sinus pressure, body ache, stuffy nose, runny eyes.......

Also, you may want to check out the Yahoo support group for guai users who have fibro. Just go to Yahoo - groups and type in guaifenesin. There are some knowledgeable people in that group who can help. Best wishes & God bless.

Who else had taken this med for cough? Is it safe? Pls let me know.

After 12weeks you can take plain sudafed decongestant as needed as directions say on the box. Tylenol cold and sinus can also be taken after 12 weeks. Plain regular strength tylenol can be taken at any point in pregnancy .
