A member asked:

My sister has a terrible cold and she's scared to take anything because of her heart disorder. what is safe for her to take?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on condition: If rhythm disorders or coronary artery disease then one wants to avoid and medication containing pseudoephedrine. Agents such as tylenol (acetaminophen) or benadryl (diphenhydramine) are generally safe, as is mucinex (guaifenesin).
