Very concerning product
It numbs your tongue and does nothing for your throat. The numbing is such an odd and concerning feeling, I’ve never experienced it nor should this be considered normal.

Mucinex Insta Soothe 3 in 1
I have a really bad case of bronchitis and I have pain in my my chest, rib cage, head, and throat. I have so much phlegm coming up all day every day for over a week. I went to get more Mucinex Cough Syrup and saw theses medicated drops for sore throat + pain relief and they really work.

Bought these for a horrible sore throat & I used them as directed, still all they did was numb nothing but my tongue. My throat news NEVER “soothed” nor was it “numbed” as advertised. 👎 I would not recommend, stick to any other brands !!

This was basically just candy, doesn’t soothe a sore throat at all. Waste of money.

About your product
I’ve had a sore throat for over two months and was using cough drops, but I just bought your sore throat lozenges and they don’t work.

Good flavor and effectiveness
This throat soother and has a nice honey elderberry flavor that is sweet and fruity tasting. Although some dislike eldeberry I'm obsessed with the taste. The throat soother drop does the job and helps with a sore throat in minutes

Terrible taste
The taste is absolutely horrible, strong and artificial. The numbing effect is the only redeemable quality about this product

Don't waste your money like I did
Does nothing. I took 2…One after the other just like the directions say and all I got was some numbness in my tongue and my throat was still throbbing. I normally use and swear by Chloroseptic lozenges but was in a pinch and saw these and thought Id try it. I threw them straight in the trash. I also feel the individual wraps are wasteful and realized its loaded with artificial dyes. Do not waste your money.

Work if you use exactly as directed! I think ppl just pop these in without paying attention to the directions. Hate the corn syrup and dyes, that will change hopefully. Mucinex gives relief. I likey!

Doesn't help throat
Taste is ok. I can feel the numbing effect on my tongue and inside my mouth, but not my throat area.

Best most tolerable cough drops I have ever had.
I dislike cough drops and do EVERYTHING NOT to use them. Halls are disgusting and so on. These Mucinex cough drops are SMOOTH and work SO MUCH BETTER than any other brand. I’ve had this flavor and the mixed berry. Actually delicious and soothing for a cough drop!

Taste good but not effective for sore throats!
I really wanted this product to work on my sore, burning throat. I tried the recommended dose twice, but with no discernible lessening of the sore throat pain. I have always found Mucinex products to be helpful with colds and coughs previously. I will look for another product to help with sore throat pain. Thank you.

Candy drops
Bought these despite the expensive cost for a sore throat, followed the instructions (2 drops back to back every 2 hours) and they gave no relief. Just cherry flavored candy drops. Save your money and ry something else
