A member asked:

I took diphenhydramine hydrochloride with guaifenesin /dextromethorphan to treat congestion and allergies would it be okay to take albuterol?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Below: It is OK to use the albuterol if this has been Rxed by your health care provider. Use the albuterol as directed, and if no improvement, then call or see your DR.
