  The DM one is also safe to use. I had to use it when sick. I like that it has expectorant in it to get rid of the mucus.

  I use the DM one anyway.  But it really irked me every time someone on TB said that "plain robitussin" was OK for pregnancy.  But there was no "plain robitussin".

  But I guess there is!

  As a spin/off, my OB told me it was better to just take the exporant alone because having an exporant AND a cough supressant can be counterproductive.  That if you are loosening up the phlegm, you want to have a cough to get it out.

  This is totally true. And, honestly, Guaifenesin (the expectorant) isn't terribly effective unless you consume lots of water - which a lot people forget.

  The DM is popular because it does help to calm the cough - and there's only a couple plain dextromethorphan-containing products out there.   I like Delsym if you're just wanting the cough suppressant.

  Yes, and, it's questionable whether it's more effective than just consuming a ton of water on its own. 

  I still take it sometimes, though. Always the liquid.
