hello, should i be worried about swollen axillary lymph nodes? i have a sinus infection and am on 875 mg of amoxicillin and mucinex dm. just recently my arm pits have been hurting and i'm almost positive its my lymph nodes. is there anything to be worried

Accepted Answer

Yes, : Yes, I do think you should have this medically evaluated.  You may have a worsening infection.  I would advise being re-evaluated by your dotor.  If you have pain, vomiting, redness, fever or red streaks then you must be seen as an emergency.

Question 2

if i am taking 800 mg ibuprofen and  amoxicilin 875-125 mg is it safe to take mucinex (guaifenesin) dm alongside?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily : There doesn't appear to be any issues with this combination. Make sure you followup with your physician if you feel your progress is not what you both expecte.

Question 3

can i take mucinex dm with metoprolol tartarte?

Accepted Answer

: If you take certain drugs for depression or Parkinson's disease, called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), do not take Mucinex DM. Taking Mucinex DM while you take MAOIs can lead to a severe reaction called serotonin syndrome. If the preparation has pseudoephedrine it can cause increase in BP so the dosage should be adjusted. Consult with your doctor regarding this.

Question 4

can i take mucinex dm with lexapro (escitalopram)?

Accepted Answer

No problems: In recommended doses, this combination should pose no problems.

Question 5

can i take mucinex dm with methadone?

Accepted Answer

: One large study involving over 9000 people taking both meds reported no interaction. Your pharmacist would have more information for you.

Question 6

can i take mucinex dm and benadryl (diphenhydramine) together?

Accepted Answer

Medician Question: This combination could make you very sleepy so be careful - in some cases there could be serious consequenses. See your doctor for more definitive treatment of your cough.

Question 7

can i take mucinex dm (dextromethorphan & guaifenesin) with suphedrine pe (phenylephrine hci)?

Accepted Answer

No problem: But whether they work or not is another issue.

Question 8

can i take mucinex-d and promethazine dm together?

Accepted Answer

Caution: you better try the plain mucinex though, as the 'D' part, pseudoephedrine may interact with promethazine. or don't take them at the same time

good that you asked, always exercise caution with multiple medications, ask you pharmacist / healthcare provider

Question 9

is it ok to take benzonatate 100mg if i took mucinex dm?

Accepted Answer

: No, not a problem, no interaction between those 3 medications (benzonatate, guaifenesin &amp; dextromethorphan), which have different mechanism of action.

Question 10

can i take mucinex dmv and 5 hours later take promethazine dm?

Accepted Answer

No: Dextromethorphan has never been shown in studies to relieve any symptom of colds, flu, allergies, bronchitis or pneumonia, including cough, and can be dangerous in high doses.  
If you have thick mucous, use PLAIN guafenesin (Mucinex).  If you have nausea or a cough use PLAIN phenergan, or (for cough) phenergan + codeine or hydrocodone (but you will need an rx for phenergan + anything).
