A member asked:

Combining mucinexand claritin (loratadine) is a good idea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

maybe.: It depends on what your are treating. Claritin is an antihistamine used to treat allergies. Mucinex (guaifenesin) is an exptorant used to thin mucus. So depending on the desired results, they can be used together.
