A member asked:

What do you advise if i'm taking guiatuss ac cough syrup and was wondering if i could also take mucinex (guaifenesin) or nighttime cold with it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cough: You dont want to overdo guaifenesin which is the active ingredient in all three. May upset your stomach. Suggest you chose one type and take it as directed on the package.
