The instructions on my prescription of Guaifenesin say to drink a LOT of water. How much water should I drink?
You do not need extra water with the Guaifenesin as it is used in this protocol. This instruction is meant for the chronic lung patients who take it to thin mucous, or if it is prescribed as an expectorant for a cold or allergy. The FM folks do not need to increase their water or fluid intake unless urinating is painful because of strong urine. Increasing your fluid intake might ease this a bit. Normal intake of fluid should be at least 2 litres per day – more in a hotter climate.
