Are Guaifenesin Tablets Advisable When Diagnosed With Severe Fibromyalgia?

Should be taken as add-on therapy
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting the question.
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
I am aware of the amount of pain that you may be going through.
Taking long term pain killers is harmful indeed,and so they should be avoided.
Yes,Guanefesin compound protocol does help to some extent in controlling the pain,but basically this drug is used as an cough expectorant.
If used in high doses and for longer period of time,then it can cause harmful effects and hence,should be avoided.
If at all,you want to use it,then begin with 300 mg twice a day for one week,then depending on the amount of relief you get and side effects that you may experience,you can titrate the further dose.
600 mg twice daily is the maximum dose that can be taken for shorter period of time.
Let me know if you have any further doubts.
I hope the answer was useful.
Thank you.
Kind regards...
