Ummm? Looks like Dextromethorphan is still a listed active ingredient. Sure it has an added antihistamine and Acetaminophen, but that’s hardly “abandoning its main ingredient”.

- orange_fritter 4y agoMucinex is historically not DXM, it's Guaifenesin, that's what they built their brand on. Recently they've revised their ingredients because Guaifenesin is a mild stimulant and they know that shoppers are not reading the active ingredients. It was recently impossible for me to purchase pure Guaifenesin because the pharmacy only carries Mucinex DM/whatever rather than the original product, and all Mucinex day/night products contained Acetaminophen.
- the_only_law 4y agoOh my bad, for some reason I thought the main ingredient was always DXM. Yeah I certainly haven’t seen pure Guaifenesin anywhere. How recent was the trend? I could have sworn I’ve seen at least DXM/Guaifenesin Mucinex in the past few years
