Question 9

bought some mucinex dm today for cough and chest congestion. i also take 20mg of lexapro (escitalopram). drugs dot com says major interactions.  uhhhh? can i take?

Accepted Answer

Ask pharmacist or Dr: This is very troubling indeed. And everything I've read supports what you found. Don't risk a potentially life-threatening interaction but do try to find an alternative to Lexapro (escitalopram) w/ your doctor. It's not the guaifenesin part, so you could take Mucinex pills and gargle w/ salt water for throat pain and drink honey-lemon-tea-(bit of bourbon). Sorry, but you actually may find this to work better!

Question 10

i have red dots on my palm and chest congestion what us this?

Accepted Answer

No idea.: Rashes on the palms occur in very few illnesses.  They include syphilis, rocky mountain spotted fever, systemic gonorrhea or meningococcemia and occasionally contact dermatitis.  If the two problems are connected you should see a doctor immediately, but do not know what other symptoms you are having.  Please get checked now.
