Need help with an extra ingredient!!!

I dont know if talking about DXM is allowed here, it doesnt seem to be allowed in any other forum, but I need some help.
My freind just bought some cough pills but DXM isnt the only ingredient. They are as follows.
The brand name is Mucinex DM Expectorant Cough Suppressant it has 600 mg of Guaifenesin 30 mg of Dextromethorphan HBr per pill.
Now the Guaifenesin is what I need to know about. Here's a snippet of what Erowid said.
"Guaifenesin (gwye-FEN-a-sin) [3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1,2-propanediol] is an expectorant; it increases the production of respiratory tract fluids, thus making phlegm less viscous and easier to cough up. Guaifenesin has been shown effective as an expectorant, but is of no use as a cough suppressant. It is often combined with dextromethorphan. Guaifenesin should not be used for chronic coughs or coughs accompanied by excessive phlegm (1-2).
High doses of guaifenesin tend to induce emesis (i.e., you puke). Other effects from high guaifenesin doses are not well known, but probably not serious. Some suggest that guaifenesin may act as a muscle relaxant at high doses (an effect for which it is used in veterinary medicine).
Conclusion: as most people do not enjoy vomiting, I would recommend avoiding guaifenesin-containing products."
So is my friend Ok to take it? And The amount he is going to take is 20 pills which equals out to 12 grams of Guaifenesin and 600mg of DXM
Please, these are the only thing he can get so If you have any info on this let me know, it would be very helpful. I dont want to end up with a hospitablized friend!! And for the record he is going to take them no matter what, so thats why I need this info.

I think I'd just take the loss of cash and not eat the Guaf. Pills aren't that expensive.

Maybe you might puke but I have downed many many bottles of tussin with Guaf in it and only every puked once, and I think that was from the taste of the cough syrup.

Don't take them. Guaifenesin is a real bitch. Although I have not experienced it first hand, I have heard you will; puke your brains out, could come down with bloody shit (or diarrhea, since I get that after I do Cough Syrup), or blood in your piss. 600mg of Guaf per pill is pretty intense, too. First time I tried DXM I didn't know about Guaifenesin and took 280mg of DXM with bout 30mg Guaf/5ml, so good thing I took a low amount of Dex. =/
