Ok. so I have a summer cold, no big deal, my head and chest are congested, normal right? So I took a mucinex, like i have done before (pre-band) to loose up the crud. OMG!!!!! I had eaten about an hour before, small turkey and cheese wrap(never been stuck on that). I had to cough, (again normal with a cold), when I did I projectiled slime, and what was left of my wrap, totally gross, and for the next 4 hours, I could only sip hot tea and had a hard time keeping that down. Everything is fine now, just ate a hard boiled egg and no probs. Anyone else had this happen, it was pretty scary. No more mucenix for me just wanted to share and warn, as cold season is on the way.

I love Mucinex and way too scared to choke down those big pills. With my last cold, I got Robitussin Liquid. It uses the same active ingredient, guaifenesin, as Mucinex. You just have to get past the gross taste of the liquid med.

You could probably do the liqiluid.mucinex. I thankful haven't had to deal with a cold since being b

I've been banded a year now and I still use regular Mucinex all the time. I'm on it again right now. I've never had any problems with it but I take mine with hot coffee or warm tea.

I am at restriction and can take mucinex no problem.
