Comments about Mucinex Maximum Strength Fast-Max Cold & Sinus, Multi-Symptom, 6 fl oz:
This works perfectly but i am not joking, it is the worst tasting medicine I have had. I was so stuffed up I couldn't taste my soup but I could taste the syrup. It is really bad.
Fortunately, it works better than almost anything out there over the counter so I would absolutely do it again.
