Hello, folks. I have severe sinus problems and my doctor recommended me MUCINEX. But when I came to the pharmacy, I saw there was MUCINEX and MUCINEX D. I would like to know what the difference is between these to products. Can anyone help me with this? I would really appreciate it.

Hello. There is a slight difference between Mucinex and Mucinex D. Mucinex is more for fighting congestion only. For sinus problems, Mucinex D is more recommended. Mucinex contains guaifenesin. It is an expectorant. Mucinex D besides guaifenesin, contains pseudoephedrine HCl. This is a nasal decongestant. I hope this helps. You should ask your pharmacist for details. Good luck! Bye!
