Question 1

hello i need to know if it's ok to take coricidin cough and cold for allergies , while taking amlodipine besylate 5mg ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you have hypertension you should avoid decongestant, usually with the letter "d" after the medication (robitussin (guaifenesin) d, Allegra d, etc)
usually the d for decongestant is pseudoephedrine, a stimulant that iincrease bp, heart rate and can get you in trouble.
Don't confuse with dm for dextrometorphan, a cough suppressant medication that is ok.

Question 2

can you take coricidin with amoxicillin?

Accepted Answer

: I would to to Drugs.com and enter these two medicines and all others you take including supplements into the drug interaction check. Then discuss with your Dr and read the information you were given whey the prescription(s) were filled.

Question 3

can you take coricidin with flygal antibiotic ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, no problem: I think you mean Flagyl (metronidazole), right? If so, no worries -- it will mix with Coricidin or other cold medicines without problem. You can easily check interactions between any medicines at many websites. Google "drug interactions" for many good resources.

Question 4

will taking coricidin cough & cold cause me to fail a drug test?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: It looks to be comprised of antihistamine and an antitussive.  Both of these are legal which is why one can buy Coricidin off the shelf.  In any case, prior to the drug test you will be asked what medication you are taking.  Be honest in case something does show up.  Good luck.

Question 5

what will happen if i take 2 coricidin and then 2 pseudoephedrine?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: so long you don't exceed recommended dosage and not contraindicated to take either medicine. However you didn't mention which Coridin formulation

Question 6

are minors able to buy coricidin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is an over the counter product with minimal side effects and no psychoactive potential.

Question 7

is the coricidin cough & cold being recalled, there is none in town?

Accepted Answer

Go online: Coricidin cough and cold is still available.  Unfortunately, there are individuals who abuse it for getting "high."  i was able to find it in many stores on line.   I was not able to find a recall announcement.  Check with your local pharmacist-he/she can order it for you.

Question 8

can my nine year old take coricidin cough and cold ?

Accepted Answer

Cough medicine: Cough and cold medications have not shown any advantage compared to maintaining adequate fluid intake and good nutrition. However, these medications often contain older type of antihistamines that could produce drowsiness and create sleep. A recent study showed the benefit of honey for nighttime coughs.

Question 9

i was wondering if i can take coricidin hbp after taking mucinex dm? thank u

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: The coricidin HbP daytime is like mucinex dm, thus you are essentially doubling the dose which is likely ok for most people. The evening formula contains an antihistamine and I see with issue with the combination especially with nighttime formula

Question 10

Accepted Answer

: Yes you can.
