I take 1200 mg. (2 @ 600 mg) a day, every day, and have been doing so for over a decade. If you are taking them for a bout of bronchitis, let's say, then I imagine you would take them until it clears up. In my case, I have chronic lung conditions and I literally wouldn't be able to breathe without the Mucinex (well, and various prescriptions). According to my doctor, there is nothing in this that can hurt you.

You can take the 12hr Mucinex 1 every 12 hours as needed and the regular Mucinex 1 every 4 hours as needed.

This product is supposed to be sold via a Doctor, therefore the Doctor would tell you. The bottle label says 3 caps per meal. My doc said take it for three days. before the start of a heavy cold. If you already have a major cold..too late. Also usually taken with immuplex per label 2, 3 times a day. 3 days...for a cold. If you taking it for another reason and there are more reasons..talk with you Doctor.

You only have to fill it once a month. Plus you can take that days with you if needed. Plus you can see in if you missed a dose. Enjoy. We all do. Great gift fir a friend who uses a lot of pills.

From the research I did you would have to take a whole lot everyday but I'm not a dr. I took it for a few days at the start of a headcold and it worked great. Much better than conventional antibiotics which I hate taking.

No. If you get a "Mucus Relief Cough" medicine it has 20mg. Regular "Mucus Relief" only has Guaifensin.

Guai-Aid are not extended release tablets. I do not like Mucinex as a company. They way over charge, Quaifenesin was an old medicine used for rheumatism along time ago and was very inexpensive like common aspirin. Somehow they got a monopoly in the US and sell it as a decongestant and overprice it. Then worst of all they packaged the pills in plastic that killed my fingers to punch out. Guess they had to do some thing to justify the price.

Yes - from the label: "1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours" I take one at night for mild beneath the skin itching that's developed lately on my feet and hands, and it knocks me out for the night. Exact same dosage as branded Benedryl.

According to Dr. Norm Shealy, he recommends 15-30 drops twice a day. It depends on what you are using it for. I use it to keep my blood pressure down so use 30 drops. Sometimes I split it into two doses, other times I just do the 30 drops once a day. I don't know how much the dropper holds in fluid measurement since I have always measured the number of drops. I generally count the drops into a spoon and then hold under my tongue for 30 seconds and then swallow. Hope this helps. You can go to Dr. Shealy's website and get more info.

Believe it to be immediate as dosage suggests taking 1 600mg pill every 4 to 6 hours but not to exceed 2400mg daily.

You can take it as long as needed until symptoms are gone. And then take it regularly to keep balance if you are always a little off. Or take whenever you have symptoms come back.

Depends on how many times a day you use it...recommended dosage is twice a day.

I take 3 in the morning and 3 when I get home at night. I never found out the recommennded dosage. But 6 a day Works for me.

I think it depends on what you are taking it for - if you have inflammation already, I would take 3-4 per day until you notice a difference. If you are taking it otherwise, I would take 2 per day. Good luck!

I think they recommend once a month. It depends on how frequently you use it.

I take two before bed. Everyone is different so try 2 a day and adjust to what works best for you.

Depending on the severity of my allergies, hence thickened mucus, I have taken as often as every 1.5-2 hours when needed. Not only has the medical community, since the early 1990s, been experimenting with high doses of Guaifenesin for its role in the treatment of fibromyalgia and asthma, but even my Walgreen's pharmacist told me it was completely safe to take in higher dosages and would not interact with my, then current, meds. It can, however, potentiate the effects of pain killers, so do be aware of that.

It depends on the dosage that works for you. My dosage is roughly 200mg once or twice a day mixed with 50mg of caffeine powder.
