A member asked:

Is there any cough medication that i can take on prozac? also take ritalin (methylphenidate) during the day

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cough meds: Avoid decongestants, esp on the Ritalin. You can take regular Mucinex (guaifenesin) DM or an antihistamine like Claritin to help with any postnasal drips.
