A member asked:

I took a mucinex dm 12 hr over 12 hours ago ,i was wondering if i'm safe to take night time sever cold and flu?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Does your DM syrup allow for every 4-6 hour dosing? If so waiting 12 hours shouldn't be a problem for taking the other medication even though traces of DM will be in your system. Your pharmacist can validate this advice.
