Clinically proven to last 12 hours

12hour duration

cough symptom

chest congestion relief

bilayer tablet

Mucinex DM powers through chest congestion for 12 hours so you can say goodbye to retaking medicine every 4 hours.

When you're healthy, the cillia in your airways move mucus toward your throat to either be coughed up or swallowed. But with a respiratory tract infection (like the common cold), mucus can build up in your airways and lungs, so your body has to cough to get rid of it.

Chest congestion is what happens when the mucus membranes (mucosa) that line your airways to jump into overdrive. When you breathe in an irritant (like dust, bacteria or a virus), mucosa cells are attacked causing inflammation and extra mucus in your airways. This extra mucus is one of the ways your body tries to remove an irritant.

Unique bi-layer tablets- One layer for immediate release, the other layer for extended release.
