Overview

• Women are sharing stories on TikTok about using Mucinex to help them conceive, dubbing it the 'Mucinex Method.'
• The active ingredient in Mucinex, guaifenesin, is believed by some to thin cervical mucus, potentially aiding sperm motility.
• Experts emphasize that there is no concrete scientific evidence to support these claims, citing a lack of rigorous studies.
• A 1982 study suggested some improvement in fertility with guaifenesin, but it lacked a control group and has not been replicated.
• The manufacturer, Reckitt, advises that Mucinex should only be used as directed and highlights potential risks of off-label use.
