Question 1

can i take mucinex (guaifenesin) dm and promethazine dm together?

Accepted Answer

No: The mixing of the two will have you taking too much dm or dextromethorifan.

Question 2

what does promethazine dm do to the body?

Accepted Answer

Drugs: Promethazine is an antihistamine and increases the viscosity of your mucus secretions and makes you tired. The DM stands for dextromethorphan which is a synthetic narcotic which acts on the CTZ (central triggering zone) in the brain stem to turn off cough. It reduces coughing but doesn't address the central problem of why you're coughing, the presence of the mucus.

Question 3

1 1/2 tsp of promethazine dm syrup. should i be alarmed?

Accepted Answer

You took this?: Yes, if you gave it to a small child.  Over 60 lbs., not a problem.

Question 4

if i take guafeinesin 3 hrs ago is ok to take promethazine dm?

Accepted Answer

Yes: They should not interact.

Question 5

i took 10ml instead of 5ml of promethazine dm accidentally is this okay?

Accepted Answer

OK: drowsiness may last longer.

Question 6

does promethazine dm have codiene in it?

Accepted Answer

No: it does not. It has dextromethorphan in it as well as the phenergan (promethazine).

Question 7

can i take promethazine dm and lexapro 20mgs?

Accepted Answer

There is interaction: Taking promethazine with lexapro can increase the risk of irregular heart rhythm that can be serious and life threatening

Question 8

can i take promethazine dm and nyquil together?

Accepted Answer

NyQuil: NyQuil contains antihistamines, acetaminophen,  a cough suppressant and alcohol.  Promethazine is an antihistamine used to relieve vomiting and motion sickness.  The combination could cause severe sedation, seizures, drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, and dry mouth.  I would avoid taking both NyQuill and promethazine.

Question 9

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 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).
