How much guaifenesin makes you vomit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If u overdose you'll often feel nauseated & vomit. Side-effects of medications r usually dose-dependent. But u could be taking the recommended dose or less & not tolerate the medication. There's scant evidence that most otc cold medications are effective at all. Im not a big fan of guaifenesin. It's purportedly a mucolytic but so is water. This may be a case where less is more.
