Fight Mucus with Mucinex®
What is Mucus and Congestion
Mucus isn't always the "bad guy." In fact, mucus is an important part of your body's defense system. Mucus can also help transport and remove inhaled particles that become trapped in your air passageways. Every time you sniff, swallow or just clear your throat, mucus is doing its job and working as the "good guy."
But sometimes things can change, like when you get a cold. That's when congestion can build up and the mucus increases. It becomes thicker and moves more slowly through your respiratory system. That's when "Mr. Mucus" can enter your system and you suffer from cough and chest tightness
