Mucinex 100 Immediate Extended Release Tablets (600mg) Review

Mucinex 100 Immediate Extended Release Tablets (600mg)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Being a long-time sinus sufferer, I found the benefits of guiafenesin years before it became "MUCINEX". Without it, my sinuses get plugged and irritated within a few days, setting me up for recurrent infections. It works as an "expectorant" which means it helps keep the mucus thinned so your sinuses can clear more easily and don't become a breeding ground for bacteria and /or viruses.
As a clinic-based, practicing RN, I know that Mucinex / guiafenesin is often recommended by physicians, and is a safe product with very few side effects or drug interactions. (NO, I'm not getting paid by anyone to say any of this!)
Mucinex in this Extended Release formula minimizes the number of daily doses down to once or twice daily depending on your personal needs. This 100 tablet bottle is definitely the cheapest way to purchase - I had been getting it at WalMart for the past few years (until my smart sister told me to check for it on Amazon :-) in the 40 tablet bottles for almost $20 per bottle!
If you have sinus problems, especially chronic ones, or are prone to recurring infections, Mucinex is certainly worth a try.

Kirkland Low Dose Aspirin (81mg x 2 x 365 enteric coated tablets) Review

Kirkland Low Dose Aspirin (81mg x 2 x 365 enteric coated tablets)
Average Reviews:

This is a generic enteric-coated aspirin, meaning the manufacturer placed a coating on the tablet that prevents it from being digested in the stomach. The reason for this coating is that aspirin causes mild stomach bleeding in the stomach each time it is ingested. Once the tablet gets into the small intestine, it is digested and the aspirin is taken into the bloodstream.
Aspirin is a wonder-drug, the very first analgesic/anti-inflammatory medication to hit the market over 100 years ago. It is for mild to moderate pain and treats many different conditions such as arthritis, bone inflammation, joint pain, and even reduces fever. Aspirin causes blood platelets to not adhere to each other, thus it "thins" the blood and prevents blood clots from forming. Aspirin is thus used in emergency treatment of heart attacks and strokes. Some folks take a "baby" aspirin (81-160 mgs) each day to prevent blood clots from forming.
Aspirin is actually acetyl-salicylic acid. Manufacturers alter the structure of aspirin slightly to grant it different properties in terms of its digestion, to make digestion easier. Some buffer it with antacids while others coat the tablet with a coating that prevents its digestion in the stomach (like Ecotrin). Regular aspirin, without any buffering or coatings is tolerated by most people, but some cannot take it without severe stomach upset. For these folks, the buffered form is a god-send.
Unfortunately, Aspirin fell out of favor in the 60's and 70's when Reye's Syndrome developed in some children (under the age of 16) who took aspirin while they had the flu and/or chickenpox. About 30% of the children affected died and many more had permanent brain damage. Because of Reye's Syndrome, alternate analgesics were placed on the market, the premier being Tylenol. There is no reason to fear using aspirin if you are an adult, as Reye's Syndrome only occurred in children under 16 years of age.
The usual dose of aspirin is 325 mg, with the "extra-strength form at 500 mg. Most adults will easily tolerate a dose of 650 mg (2 tablets) every 4 hours with a maximum daily dose of 5,200 mg. (Some with rheumatoid arthritis take up to 7200 mg/day with a doctor's supervision). There is no additional benefit to taking more than 1,000 mg every 4 hours. Increasing the dose beyond this point will only increase the toxicity of aspirin.
Aspirin should be avoided in people taking blood-thinning medications, those with stomach ulcers, and used with caution in insulin-dependent diabetics. Allergies can develop to aspirin as well. Never mix aspirin with any of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, such as Ibuprofen, as there is no pain benefit and the gastric upset chance is greatly increased. Don't mix aspirin with alcohol either, as it is hard on the stomach.
Used properly, aspirin is a terrific medication. I prefer to buy my aspirin in a generic form. One pays more for aspirin if it is produced by a name-brand manufacturer. However, the big-manufacturers also package aspirin in some of the buffered forms that some people tolerate better.

Dual (Double) Head STETHOSCOPE (BLACK) - LATEX FREE Review

Dual (Double) Head STETHOSCOPE (BLACK) - LATEX FREE

(More customer reviews)
This is an excellent piece of workmanship - very low in price and great for work in the health field for basic heart and lungs sounds. I noticed that it didn't come with instructions, so for all the people who are thinking of buying this - you need to know that you can turn the head (hold tube at base of head, and simply twirl it) to get a better/different sound. To hear very clearly, simply place your finger over the hole on the top of the smaller head. Heart tones, breath sounds come in loud and clear. I am so pleased I found this again. I had an older one (might have even been the same brand) that lasted me for quite a while so was looking for a similar lightweight stethoscope that did not pull on the neck, or whose headpiece is so heavy that it became a burden to carry.
Before I came to Amazon, I had bought 2 other more expensive stethoscopes in the past month, but they were so heavy and unwieldy, and I could not hear from them as well, so went to Amazon and found these. Very strangely enough, for my ears, this cheap one sounds so much better than those other 2 Prestige stethoscopes (the $19.00 ones). Actually, even better than my old vey expensive Littmans.
Also, since the price is so cheap, I will not regret losing it TOO much (like my 2 previous (expensive) Littmans). Well, I suppose we all have different hearing and perceptions of what we hear, so this is my opinion. I do have friends who swear by their Littmans, but for me, this sound is very much clearer.
