Codeine (codeine phosphate) contains the active ingredient codeine and is used to reduce pain from headache, the flu and common cold. See here for more information and to order.
A: Mucinex contains the active ingredient guaifenesin, which is an expectorant that helps loosen phlegm and thin bronchial secretions. Mucinex does not have rapid heart rate as a possible side effect. There is a product called Mucinex-D that contains pseudoephedrine, and this ingredient can increase heart rate.
Yes to both! BUT, make sure it is PLAIN Mucinex. (Not DM, or any other formulation) I actually suggest the liquid version. (called Tussin at CVS) ONE active ingredient only- Guaifenesin! For the liquid it will say take 200â400 mg. If you have any gunk/mucus yrying to come up, you're just you're going to want to take a minimum of 400 mg every few hours. This is a non-narcotic and the only thing it does is thin mucus. (In chest and nasal) My daughter had severe asthma which turned into bronchial infections on a regular basis, starting at a very young age. The Mucinex mini melts made a world of difference for her. As soon as she was old enough, we moved to the liquid. I have found the liquid to be much more effective than Mucinex pills. Just remember one active ingredient only! When you have a bronchial infection, bronchitis or asthma, (with thick mucus) you do not want to take a cough suppressantâ¦.EXPECTORANT only.
