A member asked:
I took robitussin (guaifenesin) for a persistent dry cough, no luck so i just took nyquil two hours later is that ok?

Yes: As long as it was plain robitussin, that's fine. If it was Robitussin dm, (guaifenesin and dextromethorphan) then you would want to wait at least 4 hours in between the two, because both of those have a cough suppressant in them, and you don't want to double up on the same medication.
