Q: i accidentally just took a mucinex not paying attention to the time. i have now taken 3 mucinex within 24 hours. will i be ok? and what should i do?

: Best to go back to the 2 per day dose if still needed. 2400 mg per day is the upper limit of what typically someone can tolerate. Any questions about taking too much of anything, go to the website www.poison.org to get answers.
