  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Better than the name brand (and way cheaper)
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
I picked up Amazon Basic Care Guaifenesin 600 mg Extended-Release hoping it would be a solid substitute for the name-brand version, and honestly, I like it more. It works just as well (if not better) at loosening mucus and helping my cough feel more productive, and I don’t feel like I’m paying extra just for packaging. What I liked: Works well: Noticeable relief and it does what guaifenesin is supposed to do. Quality: Feels comparable to the name brand in every way. Ease of swallow: The tablets are easy enough to take with water and don’t have a weird taste. Value: Same active ingredient, same dose, extended-release, for a much better price. This is my go-to from now on. If you usually buy the name brand, this is an easy switch. ... show more

  • Same effect, same medicine, fraction of the cost
Size: 20 Count (Pack of 1)
Mucus products can be incredibly expensive. Amazon never fails to offer a high quality product at a fraction of the cost of name brands. This works and it works well. And it doesn't require trying to adjust other expenses to pay for it. Which is how Healthcare should be. This is the same guafenesin as the other brand, but better since I pay so much less. Thank you Amazon! ... show more

  • Generic Mucinex

Works just like the name brand, but you get to keep some money in your pocket.

  • Post nasal mucus
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
Don’t last long, but works okay when they do. Helps with my excess post nasal drip that clogs up my throat

  • Works good
Size: 42 Count (Pack of 1)
This helped a lot when I had a bad chest cold. The price is better than those sold in my local stores. And who feels like getting out to shop when your hacking up a lung and have a fever? Good product for a fair price.

  • Might work for others
Size: 20 Count (Pack of 1)
These did not work for me but I’m not exactly sure what’s wrong me with but I gave these a try. I haven’t gone to the doctor to find what’s causing my issue so I can’t really blame these but I’m sure they work for others.
