A member asked:
Which robitussin (guaifenesin) is ok to use for a heart patient with afib?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally, yes: Most otc cough and cold meds contain cough suppressants and antihistamines. You need to avoid decongestants that have amphetamine-like agents in them. The preps that have "-d" after the name are the ones to particularly avoid since those agents may aggravate your arrhythmia.
