Cheratussin Ac And Xanax

I'm getting ready to fly and take Xanax prior to my flight. I don't want to have a coughing fit on the plane. Will taking Cheratussin AC along with the Xanax be a problem?

Hi Karen,

If you have a moment, I'd encourage you to check out the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool) for good measure, where you can plug in the name of each drug you are taking and it will search its database for possible contraindications.

However based on my own investigation, there does appear to be a high potential for interaction between Cheratussin AC and Alprazolam, whereas it's generally not recommended that you take the two together due to a risk of increased respiratory depression.

That said, it would probably be best to contact your prescribing doctor just to be on the safe side. Your doctor may be able to mitigate such risks by altering your dose and/or the frequency of dosing.
