This medication is approved for pregnant patients as a "safe drug" to use. DO NOT USE this medicine. I used one dose and almost immediately experienced a severe allergic reaction. I got itchy rashes all over my body causing bruising. Pregnant patients beware of this effect.

I took 1 600 mg mucinex every 12 hours and after 4 days had horrible stomach cramps and dry heaves coughing up lots of phlem and some vomit. This went on all night. In the am I went in to see a PA and she said I had the stomach flu. I had a fever of 99.5 and felt very weak. I didn't have diarrea but felt just awful. This has been going on 4 days and am still feeling weak with some stomach pain. I think it's due to the mucinex and I only weigh 113 at the beginning. I am 66 yrs old female. They told me this is contagious and I should get better soon. Help is it the stomach flu or allergic reaction to mucinex
