A member asked:
Can you take venlafaxine with guaifenesin cough medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Guaifenesin with: venlafaxine okay, but Guaifenesin DM contains dextromethorphan and together with venlafaxine may increase the risk of a rare but serious condition called the serotonin syndrome. Consult your prescriber regarding safe alternatives. Best regards for good health.
