@cate123456 I'm glad you found something to help. I too am curious as to whether the higher dose is safe long-term (I have taken it for up to a month when needed but always go back to 600mg) The 600 mg has proven safe long-term, and I have taken it for over 35 years.
As for the cost, no, once the decision was made to go OTC, it was no longer available by prescription. One thing I do is buy the 600 mg strength on line through Amazon in 500 count bottles - it really cuts the cost.

Thanks, I’ll try buying it that way.
I’m noticing after about an hour or two after taking it, good airway clearance happens by itself. So I’m wondering if I even need the saline while I’m taking Mucinex. I can’t do 7% saline, only 3% these days since having that horrible Acinetobacter Baumanni experience and bad Bronchospasming I’m more sensitive to saline now, but the 1200 mg Mucinex seems to work like the saline without irritating my lungs.
