A member asked:

Can i take mucinex cough and chest congestion if took a mucinex mucus relief 12hr earlier?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes. Make sure that your intake of acetaminophen does not exceed 4 gm in one day. Drink enough water so that your urine is mostly colorless to ensure proper hydration. Wish you good health!
