@mattskala@St_Rev I think that guaifenesin is definitely there as much to induce vomiting from overdose as to help loosen mucus, yes -
@markdotgooley@mattskala It's not impossible to get straight dextromethorphan cough syrup though. I find guaifenesin helpful, anyway. -

@mattskala@markdotgooley Crucial difference: you can get straight dextromethorphan over the counter. -
@mattskala@markdotgooley So people getting it with guaifenesin are presumably choosing it. -
