OK, it's back up. You tell people they can save money by buying generic, but your site is all about the brand names, not the active ingredients. I think you're going about it backwards. Then by adding reviews on top of it all -- it just perpetuates the entire brand-name mythos. What's there to "review" about a bottle of Guaifenesin?! It's Guaifenesin!

What people really need to be educated about is; 1) the only thing that matters is active ingredient, and 2) what active ingredients do I want to take for these symptoms?

To that end, I think you want to explain the difference between Guaifenesin and Dextromethorphan, and why you would take one over the other, or both at once. But on your site, I click 'Cough', and I'm just hit with big shiny brand names, and nothing to explain how to decide. So I'm sorry to say I think you're failing entirely on your stated goal.

Edit: OK, I'm basically echoing @maxerickson 12 hours late.
