Question 3

Accepted Answer

Very cautiously;: There're some possible side effects especially with long-term use.

Question 4

side effects from bromfed (brompheniramine) dm lasting more than 5 days after discontinuing?

Accepted Answer

Medication Effects: Since you did not describe what the side effects are or what you were treating in the first place, my first thought is that this is most likely not side effects from this medication but symptoms of the underlying problem.

Question 5

i took 100mg of tramadol. if i was to take a mucinex-dm tablet would there be any reaction or negative side effects?

Accepted Answer

Several things : Could happen.  Both medications can be sedating so combining the two may make you drowsy.  Also both can enhance serotonin effects in the body like agitation, fever, tremors, palpitations, muscle spasms, and skin flushing.  You may want to review this with your physician if it a combo you feel like you'll needs for several days or more.

Question 6

what're some maxifed dm side effects?

Accepted Answer

Multiple: This drug includes a decongestant which is a stimulant. It can make you anxious , cause palpitations, elevated blood pressure and dizziness. The cough suppressant causes sedation, and may cause nausea or abdominal discomfort. It can even become addictive. Guaifenesin is supposed to loosen secretions, it can cause vomiting.

Question 7

i take paxil (paroxetine) and clonazepam and i have cold/flu i need medicine but the only thing recommended is mucinex dm which never worked for me! is there anything else i can take that is safe less side effects?

Accepted Answer

Try topicals: The only interaction between OTC cold medicines and paroxetine is the increased risk for serotonin syndrome (rare).  If you have a history of this syndrome or any others - I'd call your doctor.  In the meantime - I'd suggest an intranasal spray (Nasacort) and Chloraseptic Max throat drops to treat the symptoms. DayQuil should be ok - but check with your doctor since they know your history. G'luck!
