Question 1

is robitussin (guaifenesin) ok to take when breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Robitussin&breast fe: While it is considerd safe for a breast feeding mother to take robitussin, (guaifenesin) you have to be aware that it decreases milk production, so if you are taking this med, make sure the baby is getting enough milk, if not than supplement for a short peroiod with formula.But it is the safest of all the cough meds to take.

Question 2

is it safe to take guaifenesin while breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes it is safe in recommended doses if needed.

Question 3

can i take mucinex (guaifenesin) while breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Most over the counter medications are ok, including most decongestants as long as they are taken according to the directions. Mucinex (guaifenesin) is perfectly fine and can be used without concern.

Question 4

can i take mucinex (guaifenesin) md while breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Maybe. Try natural!: You probably mean Mucinex (guaifenesin) dm, which contains. Dexomethorphan. Not a very dangerous medication, but i would advise plain Mucinex (guaifenesin) instead. Better yet, in order to thin secretions 100% safely, drink from a cup some piping hot chicken broth (the real, homemade kind) with as much hot chile pepper added as you can tolerate, which causes copious thin secretions and gets the thick junk out. Seriously!

Question 5

is mucinex (guaifenesin) and zyrtec okay during breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Probably Safe: Guafenesin (mucinex) has some evidence of safety during breastfeeding while Cetirizine (zyrtec) has not been studied. Both are typically safe for use in children though so are unlikely to cause any issues.

Question 6

can i take robitussin with clarithromycin er?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: There should not be any interaction between the 2 medications

Question 7

should i take robitussin (guaifenesin) with clomid?

Accepted Answer

Doesn't help if TTC: There is no evidence that Robitussin (guaifenesin) helps you to conceive or that it helps to improve cervical mucus. It's generally safe to take Robitussin (guaifenesin) for coughs and colds when trying to conceive or when you're pregnant. It's probably not very effective as a cough and cold medicine either. If you're 44 and trying to conceive see a fertility specialist (rei) md for help.

Question 8

can i take alka seltzer plus nighttime with robitussin?

Accepted Answer

Alka seltzer/robitus: Yes  -  the ingredients in the two are different      so there should be no problems   
good luck

Question 9

can i take theraflu 4 hours after robitussin and amoxicillin?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, you can do that.

Question 10

is it safe to take nyquill 4hours after robitussin (guaifenesin)?

Accepted Answer

If used correctly: If one is using nyquil and "plain" Robitussin (guaifenesin) correctly, following the packages' instructions, and has not had any problems from either medication alone, then one would expect no problems from taking them together (at the same time or at different times). The nyquil does not have the same ingredients as plain Robitussin (guaifenesin) has, so one would not be doubling up on an ingredient.
