Re: JimW says Robitussin Chest Congestion Guaifenesin is safe

[Guest guest]

Because we give my dad (with PSP) Mucinex to help break up and clear

the ever-present congestion, we have looked high and low for cough

syrups that contain guaifenesin only. (Mucinex contains DM. And

nearly all cough syrups contain DM, so we don't want to overload

him.) In theory I know that there is a product from Robitussin

called Robitusson Chest Congestion Guaifenesin Syrup USP*, but I've

never found that in drug stores. The brand that I do find in all the

stores is Delsym. It is 100% guaifenesin as well. It's cheapest at

Wal-Mart and Target (compared to 's, Safeway, Long's,

Albertson's, and Walgreens).

Hi Robin,

It is in all the drug stores in my area. It says Robitusson Chest Congestion

Expectorant Guaifenesin Syrup, USP. All the other Robitusson brands say not to

use for Parkinsons. You have to look closely it is there. I have two bottle of

it on my shelf for Jim. On the front it says: NON-DROWSY Relieves: Chest

Congestion

For Adults and Children That is all that it says on the front. I live in

California also, not far from you, so it must be in your area too.

Quoting Janet Colello :

Be careful and start with a low dose ..

My Dad couldn't tolerate this stuff either - made him spacy.

Seems like the PK meds don't absorb as well - and those symptoms

become much worse.
