What Causes Mucus?
Your body produces mucus to help keep tissues lubricated and flush potentially harmful invaders out of your system. The mucus in your lungs helps remove viruses and bacteria from your respiratory tract that might otherwise cause an infection. The mucus in your nose helps trap and eliminate viruses, bacteria, and potential allergens.
What Is Mucus Relief?
Most of the time, the mucus in your body is sticky and clear. But when allergies or illness trigger an increase in mucus production, you feel it. You might have a "wet" cough, feel pressure in your sinuses, or have difficulty breathing through your nose. Mucus relief products can help you feel better by decreasing the inflammation in your chest, sinuses, and nasal passages and relieving pressure.
Does CVS Health™ Mucus Relief Cause Drowsiness?
CVS Health™ Mucus Extended-Release tablets help thin and loosen mucus and relieve chest congestion. For adults and children over 12, this maximum strength mucus relief product helps loosen bronchial secretions, so coughing is more productive.
CVS Health™ Mucus Extended-Release contains 600 mg of guaifenesin, an expectorant. Guaifenesin can cause side effects, including drowsiness. If you're concerned about using a mucus relief product that could make you feel sleepy, consider taking one of the many mucus relief products available at CVS Pharmacy® formulated for daytime use.
Can Mucus Relief Products Cause Side Effects?
Any medication or herbal supplement has the potential to cause side effects. Mucus relief products are no exception. If you're using a mucus relief product that contains guaifenesin (expectorant), side effects can include drowsiness, dizziness, headache, or stomach pain. The decongestant phenylephrine can cause dizziness, nervousness, or difficulty sleeping. If you have concerns or questions about side effects while using a mucus relief product, please consult your health care provider.
