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 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn I've had asthma since I was little, and as far as I've gathered, expectorant is for non-asthmatic cough sufferers while mucolytics are for asthmatics. Is this true? What's confusing me though is why "guaifenesin", a component in one asthma pill I used to take, is used as an "expectorant", and the only OTC drug available for the purpose of easing the removal of phlegm here in the U.S.
Avatar f tn hey I need to know this answer also! I do know you only need the plain kind, nothing else should be in it just guaifenesin. If you get the one with that is mixed it can have the opposite reaction. Also you need to drink plenty of water!! YOu have to do this in order for it to work. 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!
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 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 n tn Mentholated cough drops numb pain in the throat. They also often contain cough suppressants in addition to the oral anesthetic. Cough drops that contain dextromethorphan and guaifenesin (an expectorant) are considered safe for pregnant women to use.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn Hi everyone my name is Dalton. I'm a 13 year old turning 14 on December 2. 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.
Avatar f tn Guaifenesin to be specific?
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever gotten guaifenesin with codeine prescribe. Want to know feed back on it I'm 12+4 days. Help please trying to get rid of this plhuem I had still. But kinda un sure.
Avatar f tn Basically in a nut shell salicylate acid blocks guaifenesin st the renal tubule level, so while it can still decongest, the use we use it for is rendered ineffective. The same receptors that guaifenesin needs to go in at the tubules is the same that salicylate acid parks in. This happens when you apply them directly to your skin because it is directly absorbed into your blood stream like any other topical medication, hence you need far less potency since your liver is not metabolizing it.
1106767 tn?1315050974 I have done some research and it appears that clomid can dry up cervical mucus in some people.But if you take robitussin that contains the ingredient (guaifenesin) only and take 1 teaspoon morning and night its supposed to help.But you only take it after your period ends and stop when you ovulate.Drinking a daily glass of grapefruit juice also helps as does eating sweet potato or yams.I am using conceive plus also which is a lubricant similar to preseed.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Hi i can confirm that the cough syrup is robitussin chesty cough medicine that contains (guaifenesin) only.Its in a red and black box.I have never noticed my cervical mucus ever before and this was my first month on clomid.I took robitussin every morning and evening (5ml dose).You only take it after AF has ended and stop when you ovulate.I drank a glass of grapefruit juice every morning as its supposed to help CM too.

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).
1777912 tn?1314474892 there is a cough syrup called Robitussin (guaifenesin cough syrup) i know it sounds stupid because it is cough syrup, but as it has guaifenesin in it, it clears not only the mucas on your chest but also makes your cervical mucas thinner and runnier so the seman can swim through better. look it up on google. but make sure you get the one with guaifenesin in it as the other ones can dry up the cervical mucas . hope this helps ..
773755 tn?1328119777 I suffer from burning/stinging skin, fatigue, tremors, choking sensations etc etc. I started guaifenesin in february however and things have slowly been getting better. The treatment aims to reverse the root cause of the illness rather than cover it up. There are support groups too, very handy for the protocol at 'guai group' for the US and 'uk fms guai' for the UK. There is also loads of facebook/wordpress.
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.
1386765 tn?1451164337 I got a cold last Halloween and then conceived in November. Unfortunately I MC in Jan. Then I got a real bad flu in March and now am 31 weeks pregnant. Which made it that I conceived right after my flu. both times I took Nyquil and tons of it. i can't say if that has any effect at all. But after reading the above post it made me wonder..
Avatar m tn I recently had a really bad attack which lasted several days When i had a cold and i found that i had a very bad reaction to taking Beechams all in one which contains paracetamol , guaifenesin , phenylephrine & Contac dual relief tablets which contain pseudrephedrine , hydrochloride , paracetamol , I know that i am ok with paracetamol but the other ingrediants in these cause me to have really intense migraines.
Avatar n tn I have failed at every attempt to get him to quit smoking. In addition he has diabetes and has suffered from a heart attack about 10 years ago and a medical scare about 5 years ago and maybe others. I dont know what I can do because he is so stubborn. Is there anything I can do to help with his coughing at least because it is so frequent.
Avatar f tn Have you tried products containing Guaifenesin? This incredient thins secretions and is found in Mucinex (pricey) and products like that - BUT, if you can find a generic or plain Guaifenesin, you will save tons of money. You need to drink plenty of water for Guaifenesin to work. You may need to sleep with your head propped up temporarily, until [hopefully soon] you are well again. Good luck. I hope you find some relief soon.
Avatar m tn Hi, i'm new here, so do forgive me if i've posted in the wrong forum... ok, i quit smoking approx 3 weeks ago, after which i experienced quite a cold which cleared after about a week and a half. three days ago i spent two nights (basically except for last night) in a hotel room with air conditioning which was on for the bulk of the time i was there. on my second night there i began experiencing a stuffy nose which i have have till now.
