The active ingredient dextromethorphan has been shown to produce drowsiness in some patients. Phenylephrine is known to be a stimulant which can be considered non-drowsy. These three ingredients together cannot be considered non-drowsy due to the inclusion of dextromethorphan.

rudolph - 11 months ago, Verified purchaser
For each one I purchased I had to find two gentlemen to get the cap off the bottle. I am 76 with arthritis in my hands and cannot remove the caps from the liquid bottles. Each gentleman had to exert extreme pressure to remove the cap. I have a deep gag reflex when trying to swallow large tablets, thus, the need for liquid medicine.

Expensive and useless

1 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
BT - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
Had high hopes for this brand and product. Saw some reviews about how hard it is to peel the thin stickers on the back to read the instructions. It's not so bad. The product itself is very expensive and totally useless. Taking it 20ml each time, it doesn't last very long. Expensive doesn't matter as long as it works, but it doesn't. I don't understand why either. The active ingredients (cough suppressant, nasal decongestant) are exactly the same as the ones in Nyquil. Whenever I took Nyquil, my cough would stop right away but Nyquil made me really tired even after a long night of sleep. This product didn't stop the coughs at all. I'm almost done with the bottle since buying it on Sunday. Took it before bed last night. I coughed before falling asleep. I woke up middle of the night and coughed so much. Never buying Mucinex again.
