User questions & answers

Question:	what is the current expiration date if ordering april
Answer:	From what i know, it puts out a cool mist. You put water up to the fill line, add the oil and turn it on. The problem i had with this product is that after about 3 months of use, the cover would be very difficult to remove even after cleaning. The rim became very sticky like a glue. i tried everything to remove it but nothing worked. I ended up throwing it away. I'll stick to my wax melts!!
Question:	Can you use more than 3 days in a row
Answer:	I'm using the oil I had on hand and it works fine.
Question:	Are the tablets in a bottle
Answer:	My diffuser does mist..working perfect. I would return it.
Question:	Is this 1200 mg guaifenesin
Answer:	yes, besides when you setting time is up, it will be too

Mucinex Se Powers Through Chest Congestion

When you’re sick, excess mucus may be bothering you and causing chest congestion. Mucinex extended-release tablets break up the mucus that causes chest congestion, providing you with fast-acting and long-lasting relief.

Chest Congestion

Chest congestion is what happens when the mucus membranes (mucosa) that line your airways jump into overdrive. When you breathe in an irritant (like dust, bacteria or a virus), mucosa cells are attacked causing inflammation and extra mucus in your airways. This extra mucus is one of the ways your body tries to remove an irritant.

Active Ingredient

Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps reduce chest congestion caused by colds, infections, or allergies. It works by thinning the mucus in the air passages and makes it easier to cough up.

Product description

When you’re sick, mucus can be a master of mayhem. But quick, long-lasting chest congestion relief is just a dose away — with Mucinex SE extended-release bi-layer tablets. Guaifenesin, the active ingridient in Mucinex SE, helps relieve chest congestion by thinning the mucus in the bronchial passageways to make the cough more productive. The bi-layer tablet releases immediately and lasts for up to 12 hours.* Mucinex In…Mucus Out

Some people, especially young children and people with weakened immune systems, might be able to infect others for an even longer time.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the expiration date on the medicine be
Answer:	That is when it was produced! It is very fresh as we are selling a ton. It will expire 3 years from that date.
Question:	Sugar free
Answer:	Room tempature is best. It best to not allow it to get Hot (over 105+) which is kind of hard to get that hot.
Question:	What os DM meann
Answer:	Comparing the amount of glutathione in this spray (micro amounts, mcg) to the amount you might take in a pill (mgs) is like comparing apples and oranges. The whole point of a sublingual spray is that the body uptakes and utilizes it far more efficiently than when digesting a pill (you may take several 500mg pills but only absorb a few mcg of actual glutathione into your bloodstream). As far as I know, there is no chart or info for comparison of the two, but there ARE scientific research studies (NCBI) that demonstrate far higher measurable levels in the blood via sublingual intake vs pill form.
Question:	How long does this last
Answer:	Ingredients : N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC, 2 Formulations), Acetyl L-Carnitine, L-Glutamine, L-Glutathione Tripeptides (Reduced, 2 Formulations), Alpha Lipoic Acid (R-Fraction), Milk Thistle Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Proprietary Herbal Extracts and Natural Minerals in Ultra-Pure Deionized Water.

Since it is non-specific, it is listed as "antihistamine". 1st Generation antihistamines, like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) are known to have sedative effects. In this product, there *may* be a 1st generation antihistamine, chlorpheniramine (Brand name Chlor-Trimeton). I am not a licensed pharmacist, and this is not clinical advice.

How Cold and Flu Spreads

Most experts believe that cold and flu viruses are spread by respiratory droplets propelled when people with cold or flu cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people 3 to 6 feet away. Less often, a person might get a cold or the flu by touching a surface/object that has the virus on it and then touching their mouth or nose.

Period of Contagiousness

You may be able to pass on a cold or flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. Some people, especially young children and people with weakened immune systems, might be able to infect others for an even longer time.

About Cough

A cough is a natural reflex that protects your lungs. Coughing helps clear your airways of lung irritants, such as smoke and mucus (a slimy substance). This helps prevent infections. A cough also can be a symptom of a medical problem.

Prolonged coughing can cause unpleasant side effects, such as chest pain, exhaustion, light-headedness, and loss of bladder control. Coughing also can interfere with sleep, socializing, and work.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this contain alcohol
Answer:	Never looked for that dosage. Ask pharmacist about doubling 600. Maybe asking doctor about that dosage would be best thing to do if you have that much congestion
Question:	What does DM on label mean
Answer:	I have a bottle that's over half gone that has an expiration date of 03/2015. And it's a bottle of 500. I can't remember if I've had it 3 or 4 months
Question:	of every dose"? Whats that suppose to mean
Answer:	If you buy the 500 size, it comes in a big jar. I transfer to a smaller jar. The 500 size is the only one I have found that comes in a bottle. I don't like the blisterpacks - difficult to open and very wasteful with the plastic & foil.
Question:	How can a product be both a cough supressant and and expectorant? Don't the two actions oppose each other
Answer:	Just regular Mucinex (not DM) is what my doctor recommended, and I've been taking, twice per day, for years. The "DM" stands for dextromethorphan, which is a cough suppressant, and that's not generally needed when you're only trying to dry up post nasal drip. Start with the 600mg, and if it doesn't do the trick, move up to the 1200mg tablets. It works!

Honey is very beneficial to the human immune system and makes the medicine easier to take. And as a childrens medicine you dont have to worry about too much medicine as long as they take the proper dose.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is expiration data listed on product bottle
Answer:	Unfortunately, this was my biggest complaint, you essentially get about 6 months less on the expiration date. If this were a bottle of 20, no biggie but 200, that's a huge deal. Now you probably have a year after the date at least but still
Question:	is this a coated caplet
Answer:	As others said, guaifenesin, thins mucus so the body can expel it easier; Dextromethorphan Hbr is an OTC cough suppressant. You need a cough suppressant to stop coughing so your lungs can heal or get sleep. It depends on your condition whether an expectorant or a suppressant is needed. I suppose if your lungs are stuffy, but not coughing, this (Gua. .. only) is OK. But if your have a hacking cough, your condition needs a doctor to listen to your lungs and a suppressant is needed (like prescription codeine).The dosage you cited is 4-6 hours; 12-hour version has triple the active ingredients in a slow release pill (1200mg Guaif, and 60mg Dex Hbr).Generally, every version is "maximum strength", so the only difference is 4 hour or 12-hour version.
Question:	Are these for 12 hour relief like Mucinex DM
Answer:	4 hours @ 400mg. The 12-hour versions have 1200mg in slow release pill.Same with cough suppressant Dextromethorphan Hbr; 4 hours @ 20mg, and slow release 12hours @ 60mg. True for all OTC pharma - 12-hour versions are 3x "normal" 4-6 hour ingredients at also about the same unit price (3x normal).
Question:	What is the expiration date if I order today
Answer:	I am reading directly from the bottle and it reads: Active ingredient in each immediate-realease tablet :Guiafenesin 400mg ................Expectorant

Common Cold

A cold usually includes a runny nose, sore throat, sneezing, and coughing. These symptoms can last for up to two weeks. Over 200 viruses can cause the common cold. The rhinovirus is the most common type of virus that causes colds.

Flu

Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses infecting the nose, throat and lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness. Serious outcomes of flu infection can result in hospitalization or death. Some people, such as older people, young children, pregnant women, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious flu complications. There are two main types of influenza (flu) virus: Types A and B. The influenza A and B viruses that routinely spread in people are responsible for seasonal flu epidemics each year.

How Cold and Flu Spreads

Most experts believe that cold and flu viruses are spread by respiratory droplets propelled when people with cold or flu cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people 3 to 6 feet away. Less often, a person might get a cold or the flu by touching a surface/object that has the virus on it and then touching their mouth or nose.

Period of Contagiousness

You may be able to pass on a cold or flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. Some people, especially young children and people with weakened immune systems, might be able to infect others for an even longer time.*

About Cough

A cough is a natural reflex that protects your lungs. Coughing helps clear your airways of lung irritants, such as smoke and mucus (a slimy substance). This helps prevent infections. A cough also can be a symptom of a medical problem.

Prolonged coughing can cause unpleasant side effects, such as chest pain, exhaustion, light-headedness, and loss of bladder control. Coughing also can interfere with sleep, socializing, and work.

Overview

Coughing occurs when the nerve endings in your airways become irritated. The airways are tubes that carry air into and out of your lungs.Certain substances (such as smoke and pollen), medical conditions,and medicines can irritate these nerve endings.

A cough can be acute, subacute, or chronic, depending on how long it lasts.

An acute cough lasts less than 3 weeks. Common causes of an acute cough are a common cold or other upper respiratory infections. Examples of other upper respiratory infections include the flu, pneumonia, and whooping cough.

A subacute cough lasts 3 to 8 weeks. This type of cough remains even after a cold or other respiratory infection is over.

Cough medicines may harm children. If your child has a cough, talk with his or her doctor about how to treat it. (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health)

Mucinex DM Powers Through Cough & Chest Congestion

Not all coughs are the same. Sometimes you can have a wet cough caused by mucus. Other times, you have an irritating dry cough. Some days it’s both. Whichever you’re dealing with, relief has arrived with Mucinex DM.

Cough

When you’re healthy, the cilia in your airways move mucus toward your throat to either be coughed up or swallowed. But with a respiratory tract infection (like the common cold), mucus can build up in your airways and lungs, so your body has to cough to get rid of it.

Chest Congestion

Chest congestion is what happens when the mucus membranes (mucosa) that line your airways jump into overdrive. When you breathe in an irritant (like dust, bacteria or a virus), mucosa cells are attacked causing inflammation and extra mucus in your airways. This extra mucus is one of the ways your body tries to remove an irritant.

Active Ingredient

Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps reduce chest congestion caused by colds, infections, or allergies. It works by thinning the mucus in the air passages and makes it easier to cough up.

Dextromethorphan HBr (30 mg)

Dextromethorphan HBr is a cough suppressant. It works by suppressing the cough center of the brain.

Also available in Maximum Strength.

Strong Expectoration of Phlegm

Guaifenesin helps thin and loosen mucus in the lungs, and lubricates the irritated respiratory tract, making it easier to cough up the mucus.

More Than an Expectorant

We don’t stop at Guaifenesin. We understand that mucus is only a small part of the whole therapy for congestion. We added the right dose of Phenylephrine HCl, which works as a decongestant by decreasing swelling in the nose and ears, and makes it easier for you to breathe. We also added Acetaminophen, an ingredient that helps relieve aches and pains and reduce possible fever caused by most cold and flu. Another active ingredient—a slight amount of Dextromethorphan HBr—used in the appropriate dose in combination with Guaifenesin, becomes an effective way to relieve unproductive coughs caused by common cold, bronchitis, and other respiratory ailments. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressants: it acts on a part of the brain (cough center) to reduce the urge to cough. And last, a small amount of Chlorpheniramine Maleate, helps reduce symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing, by blocking the action of histamine.

Alcohol & Sugar Free

When you have a cold or flu, you don’t have to add unnecessary sugar to your diet. Sugar helps create more mucus and phlegm. While many cold and flu syrups contain sugar, and many other sugar-free products contain sugar alcohols, Broncochem Expectorant prides itself in being free of alcohol and sugar. This makes Broncochem Expectorant a much safer product for you to use.
