How Long Does The Side Effects Of Overdosed Mucinex Last?

My husband took Mucinex liquid and was acting very strangely and freaking out; like a panic attack. He finished the entire bottle in 2 days (I don t believe he read the dosing at ALL). I don t know how much dose he took at at at time, but the bottle is completely gone. How long until it s out of his system? He s pacing the floors and having trouble breathing at times. His last dosing was over 12 hours ago.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that he may have used to incorrect dose.

Mucinex may contain only guaifenesin or may contain other ingredients as well such as a decongestant , pain relief, cough suppressant.

The exact length of time would depend on the exact ingredients in the type of mucinex used but in general it should be less than 36 hours.

I hope this helps
