If you read the Post story this came from, this applies only to the extended release version. If you get the 400 mg, not extended release, version it wouldn't have the carbomer they're talking about.
thanks for helping to clear that up. we were just taking some of this a couple weeks ago to clear up some congestion from an annoying cold/flu that started to creep in.
the generics helped to push it out quickly -- did not or would not bother with any sorts of "extended release" stuff
I take it all the time because have a lung disorder. I much prefer the 400 mg. In fact, I don't like extended release in anything. For me at least, it's not extended release - it's just nothing after the first few hours. The 400 mg can be hard to find. The Walmart version is something like 88 cents a bottle for 15 tablets and Dollar Tree has it too.
I treat medicine and food brands like I treat my worst enemies: If they have one problem with bad chemicals or handling, they don't get a second chance for any of their other products either.
They should know better.
