No side effects that I noticed, actually I didn't notice anything at all. I still have the congestion in my chest.

While it worked to relieve my congestion, I broke out in an itchy rash all over my arms and chest. Alos, the taste/smell is horrible.

Comment:
I seem to be the 'rare' side-effect case of taking mucinex and then spending every night bent over the toilet feeling like I'm going to hurl. My cough has not subsided in the least. Took the maximum strength under a docter's advice and am totally regretting my current state in life. I'll never use this drug, again.

I've been coughing a lot- enough to take me to dry heaves because of nothing to cough up. With this med my coughing became productive and did it's job rather than made my throat sore- also made my head clear up... no more congestion!
