Not theoretically: But if nhe weight close to 100 pds & the Mucinex (guaifenesin) is 600 mg you can. The maximum allowed dosage of Guaifenesin (active ingredient in both) is 2, 400 mg in 24 hs. Check the labels.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) DM contains 20 mg of DM in each 4hr dose, Delsym's 12hr has 30mg. Is that too much if I take bupropion among other meds (no MAOI).
