A member asked:

I take lexapro (escitalopram) 10mg in the morning i have a cold would it be okay to take robitussin maximum strength multi symptom cold peak cold medicine at night ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If used as directed.: 1-2 days of this at night while you get through your cold is fine. More chronic use suggests a need to discuss with your doctor. In any case let him know you occasionally use this with a cold.
