Verified Reviewer |Getting to the instructions your...
Getting to the instructions and directions on your products is ridiculous. I could not get the instructions to open from the peel label. And thinking everyone chooses to scan is also ridiculous or even that there's a mobile phone available to scan with.

Verified Reviewer |Because you were unhelpful
- - Unclear about the dose; took 4 daytime and 2 nighttime doses; I feel horrible.
- - Phone doesn't work; no one to talk to; won't share credit card.
No idea the dose, phone doesn't work, I don't want to give you my credit card number. No one to talk to.
I feel horrible. I took 4 daytime and two night time.
How much wine can I drink. Oh and an old fashioned.
User's recommendation: Make it clear how much to take to avoid all of the warnings
NeedI called because I needed help but all I got was people interested in everything but helping me they were rude and unconcerned about what I needed to know how much to take
- - I was told to pay 5.00 for an answer and be refunded later.
- - I gave my bank card; the product worked, but I won't buy again.
Find out what your customer needs dont try to sell them something or lie to them that they won money or something then I was told that I would have to pay 5.00 and someone would answer my question and I would get my 5.00 back in the meantime I had just given you my bank card information in order to pay the 5.00 that wasnt necessary just another scam is that any way to treat your customer even though your product worked for me I doubt I will ever buy it again because if what kind of a company you are
User's recommendation: Find something else that works stay away from this crooked company

Verified Reviewer |Bottle does not work
- - Cap would not open despite box instructions.
- - I forced the cap off with a screwdriver.
- - Spray does not come out; defective bottle; will not buy again.
Bought a bottle of Sinex/Max at CVS. I could not get the cap off following your instructions on the box.
My husband could not get it off, my 2 daughters and my 2 son-in-laws could not get it off. I took a screwdriver and put it under the cap while using a pair of pliers and forced it off. Then when I went to spray it up my nose, nothing comes out. Must be a defective bottle.
I use many other products like Advil, Vicks and even CVS brand and they all work well. I use Mucinex Liquid to clear congestion in my throat and it works really well. I thought I'd try your spray. I paid $9.99 on sale at CVS.
I don't have the box but I have the bottle.
I will not buy another bottle again. Thank You.
User's recommendation: Good Luck with the bottle

Verified ReviewerRefund for terrible medicated drops
The reviewer tried to contact the company before posting this review.
- - Alpine Herbs & Fresh Mint flavor, 40 drops.
- - It tastes horrible, but helps the cough.
- - Purchased at Target; plans to discard all and seek a refund.
I purchased an entire bag (40 medicated drops) of the sore throat and cough relief Alpine Herbs & Fresh Mint flavor. It has an absolutely horrible taste even if it does help my cough.
I purchased it at Target and now I will be discarding all of it. I purchase other Mucinex products that I think are great.
This one is terrible. I would like a refund.
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified ReviewerVery disappointed in changes of your product
- - Mucinex Sinus Spray bottles are hard to open; a screwdriver may be needed; $52 wasted.
- - Five bottles bought; three do not spray.
I dont know what they have done to the Mucinex Sinus Spray bottle .. it is extremely difficult to open and even recommends to use a screwdriver if necessary..
on these 5 bottles I had son open them he also found it difficult.I have purchased 5 bottles and 3 of the 5 do not plunge to spray.. and I have had several in the past that did the same.. I didnt save my receipt and that was a mistake of mine.. I have wasted $52 this last purchase and the same in the past..
and that is something I can no longer afford..
since I only have social security. You no longer have me as a loyal customer of 20 years..
User's recommendation: Do not buy or make sure you keep your receipts to return to the store and maybe after many returns their retail clients will refuse to stock the product
Sore throat medicated drops
No problem at all. Just wanted to throw out there how about making them sugar free ?
I really like them but would like some sugar free.
I have the wild cherry elderberry ones . Very good
User's recommendation: Don’t ask for a credit card !
Spray Container Sucks
Mucinex Spray Container let's the saline *** out. Used the container 3 times and it's empty due to the saline drizzling out under the spray nozzel.
User's recommendation: DO NOT BUY
Their Mucinex Spray containers are horrid.
- - I was told I'd get email with a code, but it never arrived; the spray canister leaks saline under the sprayer and runs empty after only a few uses.
I filled out a long review but was told I'd get an email with a code...what a joke. So I will post for people to Not use this spray canister as the spray works but the time it's spraying the saline is *** out under the sprayer...3 times using it and the canister feel empty.Do
User's recommendation: Do not purchase Mucinex spray, use Arm and Hammer.
