Question 1

can you take paracetamol with guaifenesin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If a person usually takes paracetamol and Guaifenesin separately without any problem, then taking them together should be fine. The two medicines don't have any problematic interaction with one another.

Question 2

does mucinex (guaifenesin) d have acetaminophen? can you take coricidin  after you've taken mucinex (guaifenesin) d

Accepted Answer

Mucinex (guaifenesin) DM?: Mucinex dm is guaifenesin, a mucolytic with dextromethorphan used as cough suppressant.  Why the combination beats me, lol. Coricidin will be an antihistamine and if with a d will be a decongestant like a pseudoephedrin. These are all different medicines that can be mixed to treat both secretions from the lungs, and the nose and sinuses. So the answer is yes, they can be mixed.

Question 3

is it ok for me to take 1 dose of robitussin (dextromethorphan 15mg, not containing acetaminophen) and 1 dose of nyquil (acetaminophen 325mg, dextrome?

Accepted Answer

Enough with Nyquil: no need for Robitussin, read the labels carefully, don't exceed recommended dosage, best wishes

Question 4

does robitussin (guaifenesin) affect birth control? it has acetaminophen in it.

Accepted Answer

Robitussin (guaifenesin): no it shouldn't matter

Question 5

is it safe to take robitussin-dm and tylenol (acetaminophen) cold multi-symptom nighttime together?

Accepted Answer

BETTER : take 1 med: Robitussin (guaifenesin) contains category c drugs: Guaifenesin and dextromethorophan .  Multi-symptom otc drugs are category c also meaning: there are no controlled studies in human pregnancy. These meds are recommended for use during pregnancy when there are no alternatives and benefit outweighs the risk. So it is best to just take 1 med for cough (e.g. Robitussin (guaifenesin)) rather than 4 or 5.
Get well soon!

Question 6

hello dr. is it ok if i take allegra (fexofenadine) 180mg with sinus medication which has (acetaminophen 325mg, guaifenesin 200mg and phenylephrine hcl 5mg)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, no problem: No interaction between all the mentioned drugs, I would like to thank you for listing the ingredients in full, be cautious though if you have high blood pressure and take phynylepherine. Good that you asked, always exercise caution with multiple medications, wish you wellness

Question 7

my daughter has a fever and cough combination can she take tylenol (acetaminophen) and nyquil or robitussin?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Her age is a critical point not mentioned in your query.  Tylenol (acetaminophen) is always safe.  Robitussin is likely fine, again, depending on her age.  I would not use Nyquil or anything containing alcohol for a child.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, under the direction of your doctor.

Question 9

DON'T: U are taking two different decongestants - Pseudoephedrine &amp; Phenylephrine, which are both stimulants with similar actions and compounded side-effects including-palpitations, elevated blood pressure, headache. Neither should be taken long term and never together! Chronic overuse/misuse can lead to dependence, heart attack, stroke and even death. Please stop and see clinician to address ur symptoms
