Question 1

can i take mucinex (guaifenesin) with chf?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, this is an expectorant and will cause no problems with your CHF or other medications.

Question 2

is mucinex (guaifenesin) d safe to take daily?

Accepted Answer

Mucinex (guaifenesin) D: Hello, i often hear the very same question regarding daily decongestant usage. My opinion is that i would rather my patients use an intranasal steroid daily with plain Mucinex (guaifenesin) as needed. The pseudo fed used in the Mucinex (guaifenesin) d will cause an elevated heart rate, blood pressure changes, sleep cycle interruptions and finally it may cause urinary retention in men.So avoid the daily use of pseudo fed.

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-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 5

can i take mucinex dm with lexapro (escitalopram)?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 6

can i take mucinex (guaifenesin) mini melts with ho?

Accepted Answer

Mucinex (guaifenesin) and Water: Not only can water be taken with mucinex, (guaifenesin) but it really  should be taken with water, because the active component, guaifenicin actually works better when taken with lots of water.

Question 7

how long will it take mucinex (guaifenesin) to expire?

Accepted Answer

Varies: The expiration on any drug varies by the manufacturer and the drug being produced. Some drugs expire quickly, in weeks to months. Most will expire in about a year after you purchase them. Pharmacies constantly update their inventory to give you the best length of time before expiration. It is not good to use expired medications.
