Most likely too much: Make sure your doc knows what's been prescribed. Neither of those drugs actually treats influenza. They are simply cough suppressant that both contain detromethorphan, and can be dangerous when the dose is doubled. In fact, that drug can be and is commonly abused by people to get "high". If you have asthma, suppressing cough may be dangerous. Get seen, bring all medicines you are taking with you.
