Has anyone heard about mucinex for fibromyalgia? Someone just mentioned this to me and I need to read up on it. They told me there mother has total relief. Maybe worth reading about....Sounds weird but who knows. Also turmeric taken daily for a long period of time seems to help from what I heard. I don't have fibromyalgia but I though I would pass this along.....xo Susita
Never heard of Mucinex being use for fibromyalgia. But I have to ask, which product? There are quite a number of Mucinex products with varying active and non-active ingredients. (These might even vary from one country to another.) So identifying which product or products is quite important.
I just heard about it....... but haven't read what is on the internet about it.. I will see if I can ask the women who told me about it. And see if she knows which one. All the best Susita
Seems the ingredient is Guaifenesin from what I am seeing. Like everything else you need to do your research and see if its right for you. From what I have just read there is a list of things to avoid to make it effective. I guess if I had fibromyalgia I would look into it. But I am sure the best advise is to ask a Doctor before trying it. Susita
Trouble is that the various Mucinex branded products contain at least this range of active ingredients:
Dextromethorphan
Guaifenesin
Phenylephrine
Diphenhydramine
Paracetamol (known as Acetaminophen in the USA)
I am quite convinced that the best advice is not to rely on the advice of a doctor. Few have sufficient knowledge of these products. Nowadays I tend to read up before buying or taking anything.
