I have an extreme head cold that has been accompanied by flu. My cough is very loose and I have been able to easily cough up phlegm. I do not have chest congestion. However, I would suggest that you NOT use Mucinex if your cough is loose, and the cold has not progressed down into your lungs. After 4 doses of Mucinex, my bronchial tubes went into a severe spasm, and I was in a "coughing frenzy" gasping for air. This worsens when I lay down. I am hopeful that this side effect stops 12 hours after my last dose. People need to understand also, that they should not take Sudafed when taking Mucinex. Mucinex contains Psuedoephedrine, and by taking Sudafed and Mucinex together, you are getting a double dose of Psuedoephedrine, which is dangerous. People also need to understand that Mucinex should be used for severe colds accompanied by "tight coughs" - where you cough and cough, and nothing comes up. Once the cough becomes loose and you are able to "expel" the mucus (whether it be in your head, your throat or in your lungs and bronchial tubes), then Mucinex should be taken with extreme precaution. This is a powerful drug, it works well, but should be monitored closely.

Mucinex is very good for my allergies. Whenever I have some allergies, what will happen is that I feel a lot better. Very useful.

I suffer from a cold or allergies at least twice a year that results in lots of congestion, etc., you know the story. This is the first time I've tried Mucinex DM, or any Mucinex product, and so I am a little Leary after reading these reviews. I would agree with an earlier post that if you tend to run on the dydrated side you have to really, really start drinking water. Watch how much goes in and how little comes out. I started to get a headache and a metallic taste in my mouth so I started pounding the water after reading the earlier post. Seems to help a bunch.
