Hello there, Bluelighters! I am new to this, and have a question I need answered hopefully sooner rather than later, and I would appreciate any help given. Since returning from England, I have been cursed with a sinus infection from HELL. It's been 2 months since my return, and antibiotics do not help. The only relief I have found is from MUCINEX D, MAXIMUM STRENGTH. Not to be confused with Mucinex DM. Just to clarify, Mucinex D (MAX Strength) has 1200 mg guaifenesin + 120 mg pseudoephedrine. DM has dextromorph-something instead of pseudoephedrine. ANYWAY, although I like to get high, my question has nothing to do with a high. Basically, the guaifenesin KILLS my stomach even in the smallest dose, but the pseudoephedrine works wonders for my sinuses. I was hoping someone could tell me if I can separate the two? This tablet is about 3/4 orange and 1/4 white, and my guess is that the orange layer is the extended release guaifenesin and the white layer is pseudoephedrine. Again, that's just a guess. I'm hoping someone will tell me that it's as simple as separating the layers, but I know better than that. Help on this would be appreciated. I'd ask the pharmacist, but we all know how well THAT would go over. I have spent HOURS today researching this, but my work was in vain. I'm always up for a good high, but right now I just want to feel better. It does help that I get a good buzz when I take two at a time but I know I'm not supposed to do that. Besides, the tummy ache doubles when I do that anyway. And do you need a RX for just straight pseudoephedrine? Any help with this would be great. Thanks for your time and for reading this! Hope you guys can find an appropriate place to post this! THX!
