A member asked:

I am very sick and need to know if i can take plain mucinex (guaifenesin) extra strength and robitussin cf together or if it is unsafe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Duplicate therapy: These two medications will likely contain similar medications, making overdosing a possibility.
