Question 1

i overdosed on entex?

Accepted Answer

How do you feel?: I certainly hope you just took a bit more than what is recommended and not intentional od. Anyhow, entex has 2 meds in it and phenylnephrine has half-life of about 3 hours (time it takes for 1/2 to disappear from your body). Usually there is much left after 5-6 half-lives. If you have bad symptoms, please consult doc. Becareful using any med; some can have devastating consequences. Good luck.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Depending on amount: I certainly hope you just took a bit more than what is recommended and not intentional od. Anyhow, entex has 2 meds in it and phenylnephrine has half-life of about 3 hours (time it takes for 1/2 to disappear from your body). Usually there is much left after 5-6 half-lives (15-18hours). If you have bad symptoms, please consult doc. Becareful using any med; some can have devastating consequences. Good luck.

Question 3

is safe to take entex?

Accepted Answer

What, not expired?: If you still have the old entex, Entex La or entex pse, they should have expired long ago.  It was safe to take at recommended doses only.

Question 4

are ?humibid? and entex the same?

Accepted Answer

No : Entex was a combination of Guaifenesin (to thin mucus) and phenylpropanolamine (a decongestant)  Entex Pse had Pseudoephedrine as a decongestant.  The fda took both of these off the market. Humibid la was extended release  Guaifenesin alone.  I believe the makers Mucinex (guaifenesin) forced all extended release preparations off the us market also.

Question 5

are  humibid l.a. and entex the same?

Accepted Answer

Common cold: No, both both can be used for symptomatic relief of the common cold.

Question 6

what is the definition or description of: entex overdose?

Accepted Answer

Entex overdose: Entex  is a decongestant. An overdose occurs when an excessive or dangerous amount of the medication is taken.

Question 7

will entex test positive for amphetamines?

Accepted Answer

Yes: on screening tests (dipstick tests and other "first use" tests) but NOT on confirmatory tests.  Any positive on a screening test should lead to a more sophisticated confirmatory test (usually gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy) which will tell the difference between pseudoephedrine and amphetamine.

Question 8

what is the treatment for entex overdose?

Accepted Answer

Entex: This is Pseudoephedrine just like sudafed. See a doctor or er. He will treat you supportively until it clears. Go to http://www.Rxlist.Com/sudafed-side-effects-drug-center.Htm.

Question 9

can entex la be taken with antibiotics (amoxylline)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but:: You can take them together, but Entex La is probably not that effective. If you are having nasal congestion from a cold Afrin(OTC) which is a 12 hour nose spray is much more effective(but can't use much more than 3 days).

Guaifenesin in Entex is an expectorant that's been used for many years. One study recently suggested it's also not very effective. Staying well hydrated is the best expectorant

Question 10

what is the definition or description of: entex allergy?

Accepted Answer

Entex allergy: Entex is a decongestant. An allergy occurs when your body’s immune system creates antibodies to a foreign substance causing a reaction that can be mild to severe.  For possible adverse effects see:  https://www.drugs.com/entex.html
