Of guaifenesin ihad all over muscle pain-i never had before in my life.is the muscle pain a side effect from guai.? or is itbecause I probably have fibro.like my mother? your namewas listed on dr. St. Amand'swebsite as a source to getcompounded guaifensin (la)do you sell it? thank you. eileen

A: Dear Eileen:

It could be do to the fact that you are going to be prone to the Fibromyalgia, and many people who take the Guai initially, can actually feel worse for 2 to 3 weeks while you are building a level in your body. Some people need to take 1800 to 2400 mg each day also, so if you are going to try it, you will have to try it for about 3 to 4 weeks, and maybe even use 3 per 24 hours.

We do sell the Guai 605mg long acting capsules, and the price is $25.00 per #100, and yes we do compound them. No RX is needed any longer, so you can just call me to order, and please remind me you heard of us from power-surge. We do ship everywhere.
