Q: I bought this online and picked it up at my local Target. When I got home, I noticed the expiration date of 4/2024. It's currently 3/24. Is it safe to consume past 4/2024 or should I exchange it?
submitted by Close to Expiration - 2 years ago
A: Medicine loses its efficacy after the expiration. To what degree, it would be hard to say. I would ensure the package you purchase has an expiration at least 6+ months out.
submitted byReemck - 2 years ago
Q: The label says that these pills should not be crushed or broken. However, these are way too large for me (a 70-year-old woman) to swallow. Is there some reason why they can't be cut in half?
submitted by NorthernGma - 4 years ago
A: Hello,
Some pills may crumble or deteriorate after being split. Medicine isn't always distributed evenly throughout each tablet. I hope this helps! Have a great day.

Q: Does this cause drowsiness?
submitted by mollyj - 7 years ago
A: Hi, thank you for your question about the Maximum Strength Mucus Relief DM caplets. This product does not have a labeled indication that it can cause drowsiness. Individuals will vary in the way they respond to the same dose of a single drug. The difference in response can result from a number of factors responsible for altering the drug effect that include genetics, disease, age and use of other drugs at the same time. If you still have concerns please check with your healthcare provider prior to use. If you would like additional information, please let us know and we would be happy to further assist you.

Not safe
If you are on any kind of antidepressant or similar medication you need to do research and talk to your doctor. I had a severe reaction that lasted well beyond 24 hours.

Do not take
I do not recommend this at all! I took it yesterday at 3pm and do not remember driving places because I was out of it and was dizzy, my heart rate has been 130. Fast forward to 8am the next day I still have a high heart rate, feel confused, can barely walk and on my way to the hospital. I don’t reccomend

Ineffective
Does NOT last 12 hours. Lucky to have it work up to fours hours then you are stuck having to wait 8 hours before you can take the next dose.

Makes you drowsy and dizzy
This meds make me so drowsy and dizzy. Its way too strong. The information doesn’t say about drowsiness. I thought I was really sleepy before heading to work but the second time I took it after 24hrs I feel the same again. Good thing I didnt get to car accident and able to drive.

Check expiration dates carefully because Target is not!
Bought this product at a Target in Bakersfield while traveling last week 12/30/25. I guess I should have been more careful because it turned out to have been expired since 8/2024.

Stay away!
I bought this for some sinus drainage that was causing me to cough at night. 2 hours later woke up horribly sick. Heart rate elevated in the 130’s. Dizzy. Vomiting and diarrhea. I immediately threw them in the trash. Never felt so horrible. That is a huge dose of dextromorphan. I should’ve known better.

Dizziness
Don’t take these pills, I took one pill and like two hours later I started feeling super dizzy and like if I was high. It didn’t say that on the side effects and apparently a lot of people have experienced this too. Be careful taking them if you’re driving or going to work

Does what it should.
Works as it should. Very happy with it! I also like how it comes in a bottle here at target. When I checked my local store, they only had the blister packs no matter the quantity. It makes a difference when you’re using it twice a day and likely are not feeling well.

Did not work
Not sure if it was the batch I got, but this product was completely ineffective and a huge waste of money. I had to buy name brand and it did work. Won’t be buying this product again. So disappointed.
