Pharmacist: Mucinex (guaifenesin) loosens phlegm while nyquil quiets hacking cough and the combination should be ok to take. Your pharmacist who is quite familiar with these medications can advise you about these or any other medications that you take.

Question 2

is it okay to take mucinex (guaifenesin) d and nyquil/dayquil together?

Accepted Answer

OTC Interaction: Combination of Mucinex (guaifenesin) D and NyQuil should be tolerated at regular doses as significant drug interactions are unlikey. Combination with DayQuil is not advised since one contains Phenylephrine and the other Pseudoephedrine which have the same intended action.

about 5 times this years, ive developed a persistent tickley cough that lingers for days. ive tried nyquil, mucinex and tessalon pearles. none of them seem to do anything. it gets worse at night and i go days without much sleep. help! what do it do?

: Any cough lasting more than two weeks needs to be evaluated by a lung doctor to rule out systemic issues. If you get fever or have lost weight it is doubly important for you to see a doctor.
Wish you good health!

Question 7

can i take mucinex (guaifenesin) dm and vicks nyquil together?

Accepted Answer

Should be OK.: Mucinex (guaifenesin) is an expectorant called guanefesin while nyquil is a combination of pain reliever, cough suppressant, antihistamine/hypnotic, and nasal decongestant.  You probably should not take Mucinex (guaifenesin) if you have an allergy to guanefesin, and you should be aware that it can make you drowsy so watch out if you drive, etc..  Liklely, so can nyquil.  Before starting both of these, check with your doctor.
