    Ignore the marketing bullshit and check the active ingredients, then buy the cheapest one with the ingredient you need. If you’re stuffy and guaifenesin (Mucinex) isn’t taking care of it, get a SPRAY (not pill, they’re useless) of phenylephrine or oxymetazoline. That shit is powerful and will clear your sinuses in seconds, but you can’t use it for more than 3 days in a row or it’ll fuck your sinuses up.

    Warnings for the brain dead: don’t take shit you’re allergic to and talk to a pharmacist to make sure it doesn’t interact with your meds.

      Guaifenesin is basically a placebo, but those nasal sprays work great; I prefer them over Sudafed since they work faster and don’t cause as many side effects.

      get a SPRAY

      ⚠️⚠️⚠️check allergies⚠️⚠️⚠️

      consult your doctors. claritin®=Loratadine. so don’t give medical advice you’re not willing to get manslaughter charged for.

        I would have thought ‘don’t take medication you’re allergic to’ is implied, but yeah, don’t do that. Don’t spray it in your eyeballs either, I guess. The spray part was specifically about phenylephrine spray vs pills, because the pills are useless but the spray is effective.

          You may not realize you are allergic to a medicine, and/or you can develop allergies you’ve never had before. So it’s not always obvious.

            There is no amount of ass covering that is going to save anyone from a person who reads a comment online and goes to take a pill they know they’re allergic to because of it 🤷‍♂️
