Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / February 2006Hi, Mucinex question, What the maximum dose a day
My sinuse are doing fair. Last last I was really bad. Dr said surgery, I said no. Polyps were large in a few places. Anyway I had a cold and was coughing up yuk. Grayish color. Was told by friend to try mucinex. I found it and also in a few other cheaper congesters. When I took 1200mg per day it did nothing. For 2 days I took 2400 mg . now im doing great. Ans im cleared up. Its says to take 1200 mg per day. Is 2400 A problem? Thank you > My sinuse are doing fair. Last last I was really bad. Dr said surgery, I > said no. Polyps were large in a few places.

A patient can be on 2400 mg/day for the long haul. But if you're feeling better, you could try cutting back the dose.  SignatureSteven D. Litvintchouk Email: sdlitvin@earthlinkNOSPAM.net Remove the NOSPAM before replying to me. Thank you, Is it just for lung congestion? Or does it help with nose congestion also. It seems I breath a littl e easier with it. Im not using it long term. Just to clear my lungs. They are now fine and I stopped using it. Thank you. Also is there any nasal decongestent that is not OTC. I heard of 5 (which I wont say here) Is there one that is good for nasal polyps Thank you Hey.... I have had two sinus surgeries to remove polyps and my problems still persist. I take Guaifenex PSE 600/120 TB SAETH every morning and take 1200 mg of Mucinex every night. Talk to your doctor about possibly always taking them. Mucinex really helps me especially at night, I now wake up clearer then ever before. alex Hey, What is guaifenex pse 600/120 TB Saeth? Is that musinex? Please let me know. I use those nose strips at night. They seem to work just a little. But a little is better than nothing. I am interested in how you had 2 surgeries and it did not seem to work. I have polyps and Im just wondering if there is alternatives. Because sometimes Im doing good. My biggest problem is that one side will close up then the other they alternate. Its very strange. This can happen 1-2 times a day up to 10 times a day It just switches within a matter of minutes. Someone said its from a deviated septum. Well any input would be great. Do you take Mucinex extended release at night or the regular? Thank you >Hey, What is guaifenex pse 600/120 TB Saeth?

Someone said >its from a deviated septum. No it is normal and happens in everyone. You just nitice it because you have swollen turbinates. >Well any input would be great. Do you take >Mucinex extended release at night or the regular? Thank you Guafenex is a prescription drug that is a combination of two things. First, there is Guaifenesin which is mucinex, this is used to break up and thin mucus. There is also Phenlpropanolamine in it which supposedly reduces the swelling of mucus membrane. My doctor prescribed for me just to take guafinex and then my allergist told me to take more gaufinex and mucinex. The worst the problem, I'm guessing the more you take. and.. Polyps suck.... they came back in my sinuses 7 months later after my first surgery and just 3 months after my second. I am currently on a system of taking steroids for 4 weeks and then I wait until polyps come back and then back on the steroids. I will say one thing.... i react positively to steroids. If I'm on steroids I feel great. No problems at all breathing and life is much better. - alex - |
