A member asked:

I took a 1200 mg mucinex pill at 8pm - would it be ok to have a beer at 11pm?

Dr. Richard Beasley answered

Specializes in Pulmonary Critical Care

Yes: There are few significant side effects or problems with Mucinex. You can have a beer or two after taking it. Wouldn't recommend a case or anything. Keep it reasonable. One or two won't hurt anything.
