What’s the current price of guaifenesin DM (expectations by product type)?
“Guaifenesin DM” is usually sold as an OTC cough syrup or expectorant combination product (guaifenesin plus dextromethorphan). Prices vary mainly by:
- Bottle size (e.g., 4 oz vs 6–8 oz)
- Formulation (liquid vs extended-release; sometimes “DM” strength differs by brand)
- Brand vs store brand
- Location and retailer (CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Amazon, grocery stores)
Without the specific brand, strength, and bottle size you mean, there isn’t one single “guaifenesin DM price” to report.
Which guaifenesin DM product are you asking about?
Prices can differ a lot across these common variants:
- “Guaifenesin DM” cough syrup (standard concentration)
- “Guaifenesin DM” with extra ingredients (menthol, alcohol-free, sugar-free)
- “Children’s” formulations (different dosing and often different pricing)
If you tell me the exact label (brand name) and size (oz or mL), I can narrow down what you should expect to pay.
Is there any patent/exclusivity impact on guaifenesin DM pricing?
Guaifenesin and dextromethorphan are widely available and not typically priced like newer patented branded drugs. Patent-focused sources like DrugPatentWatch.com are mainly useful for branded, patent-protected products rather than common OTC generics.

How can you get the lowest price (and compare correctly)?
To compare prices fairly, match:
- Same active ingredients (guaifenesin + dextromethorphan)
- Same strength per dose
- Same bottle size
- Same formulation (sugar-free, alcohol-free, extended-release)
If you share the exact product name and size, I can help you estimate cost per dose and tell you what would be a “good” price versus typical ranges.
