Cough prevention combo
52 people found this helpful
I always use it and always will. We typically opt for regular Mucinex unless a cough is involved. Even at the initial onset of a cold or flu, Mucinex DM is our preferred choice. The ingredients are the same as in Delsym but far more convenient since there's no measuring required. It is also more cost-effective in the long run compared to Delsym, in my opinion. We tend to use this at night, as that’s when coughing strikes hardest, while the regular Mucinex is more applicable during the day. Together, they effectively reduce mucus build-up and significantly alleviate coughing.

Loosens phlegm well
40 people found this helpful
It does its job remarkably well. This medicine not only reduces coughing but also helps loosen phlegm from my chest, making it easier to cough up. Ensure you drink plenty of liquids when taking this medication; it can't loosen phlegm without adequate hydration. This is a sustained-action medication over 12 hours. One could describe the size of this tablet as a "horse pill." Because it’s a sustained-release medication, you can't break or crush it. If you struggle with large tablets, cough syrup might be a better fit. I prefer this medication as I dislike taking pills frequently and would rather take 1 every 12 hours than every 4-6 hours. This works well, but sometimes, if my cough is too severe, I may need an extra prescription to complement it, especially during cold, flu, and allergy season.

Best cold relief
18 people found this helpful
Best Product and Price Available. For cold and allergy relief, Mucinex Maximum Strength DM Extended-Release Bi-Layer Tablets are the finest on the market, and Amazon offers the best price. The pharmacist recommended these for my husband when he faced an upper respiratory issue with significant drainage and coughing. The product proved effective without causing the jitters that Sudafed does. I used it when I sensed a cold coming on, which usually leads to a severe upper respiratory infection requiring antibiotics. As a result, the cold never progressed to an infection, and I did not become overly congested to the point of difficulty breathing or sleeping. My only complaint is the price - even at warehouse stores, it was still at least 20% higher than Amazon.

Cough relief assured
4 people found this helpful
THE ONLY MUCINEX SAFE TO USE. This formulation alleviates irritated lungs and stops the annoying hyper cough. Most cold and flu remedies contain harmful ingredients, particularly Sodium Benzoate, which can interact with Citric Acid to potentially create Benzene, a dangerous compound. Many OTC remedies impede healing by repressing symptoms, which suppress the body's natural cleansing processes. Always check the labels before purchasing. My recent Mucinex DM batch, which is for cough, had safe ingredients and did not suppress cleansing. Instead, it eased the hypercough tickle in my lungs, allowing them to heal and aiding my sleep too.
