Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful answers about choosing, using, and storing this product.
Why combine guaifenesin and dextromethorphan?
Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps loosen mucus, while dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. The combination addresses chest congestion and cough with two different active ingredients.
How often are extended-release mucus DM tablets taken?
Extended-release guaifenesin and dextromethorphan products are generally dosed every 12 hours for adults and children 12 years and over. Follow the exact Drug Facts on your package.
Can extended-release Mucus DM tablets be crushed or chewed?
No. Extended-release tablets should be swallowed whole and should not be crushed, chewed or broken.
How does Mucus DM differ from guaifenesin-only mucus relief?
Mucus DM adds dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant, to guaifenesin, an expectorant. Guaifenesin-only products do not include the cough-suppressant ingredient.
What should I check before taking another cough or cold medicine with Mucus DM?
Check active ingredients carefully so you do not unintentionally duplicate guaifenesin or dextromethorphan. Follow each Drug Facts label.
