Mucinex Chest Congestion 12-Hour Expectorant 20 Tablets 600mg

Mucinex Chest Congestion contains guaifenesin, an expectorant that thins and loosens the mucus behind chest congestion. Each cough then works harder to clear it. Cough suppressants quiet a cough, but Mucinex helps make a wet, chesty cough more productive. The bi-layer tablet has an immediate-release half for quick action and an extended-release half that keeps working for up to 12 hours.

Medicinal ingredient

• Guaifenesin, 600 mg per extended-release tablet

Highlights

• Up to 12 hours of relief from one dose
• Non-drowsy
• 20 tablets per pack

How to use

Follow the package dose and daily maximum (for ages 12 and up). Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Don't crush, chew or break it. Drinking plenty of fluids also helps thin mucus.

See a doctor if:

• your cough lasts more than 7 days, keeps coming back, or comes with fever, rash or a persistent headache
• you have a chronic cough from smoking, asthma, emphysema or COPD
• you cough up blood, or have shortness of breath or chest pain
