A member asked:
I currently take venlafaxine er 75 mg once a day. is there any cold/cough medicine that is safe to take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Interactions: This medicine and decongestants like pseudoephedrine can increase the heart rate and blood pressure. I would avoid cold and cough medications to be safe. Instead of nasal decongestant sprays, use simple saline nasal spray or a cough syrup that your pharmacist thinks is safe for you to use.
