Can I take mucinex dm and similasan mucus relief together? I have a severe head cold with lots of mucus. ## Hi Shelly, I'd like to be able to provide you with the correct information, but unfortunately there are no drug interaction checkers that compare pharmaceutical preparations and natural or homeopathic formulas (such as Similasan). In many cases, natural alternatives like this are used as an adjunctive therapy to other medications for additional relief. From my own personal experience I'd feel comfortable using the two together. However, I know medications can effect each individual differently, so you may just want to get a second opinion from your doctor first if you have any reservations regarding its use. I hope this helps!

May I take mucinex while I am currently taking lisinopril, hctz, metformin, and zocor? ## Hi Beth, From what I could gather, Mucinex does not have interactions with any of those medications. Oddly enough though, my findings state that there are potentially unsafe interactions between Hydrochlorothiazide/Lisinopril and Metformin. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of: "Before taking hydrochlorothiazide, tell your doctor if you also use Metformin. Hydrochlorothiazide can cause high blood sugar and interfere with glucose control. You may need a dose adjustment and you may need to check your blood sugar more often if you take both medications. Hydrochlorothiazide can also cause lactic acidosis while you are using Metformin. Symptoms of lactic acidosis include unusual m...

my boyfriend bought coricidin hbp by mistake and really needs a decongestant. is it ok to give him mucinex with the coricidin hbp? ## Based on my research there are no drug interactions found between Coricidin HBP and Mucinex. This does not necessarily mean no interactions exist, but my sources state that every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is accurate. With that said, (because I am not a doctor) the most I can tell you is that from what I've read, these two medications are regarded as being safe to take together and shouldn't present any problems outside of the normal side effects associated with each medication. I hope this info helps to answer your question!

I’ve been taking Azithromycin for 5 days, for bronchitis, but it’s doing nothing for my cough. I’m up all night coughing. Can I take Mucinex daytime while taking this other medicine? ## I didn't find any problems or interactions listed, but it is always best to double check such information. And I agree, bronchitis is annoying, that cough is horrible. I ended up in the ER once with it, a couple years ago, the medication I was given there didn't work, so I had to go to my PCP and take even more medications, before it finally cleared up. Azithromycin can cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash, according to FDA reports. But, if there has been no improvement, at this point, you might need to try a different med...

I'm sick and wanted to know if I can take mucinex fast max with my methadone, and if it is ok to do so? ## I didn't find any problems or interactions listed, but you should double check this information to be certain. The major issue I see could be due the combination worsening the side effects, so you may experience more nausea, dizziness and drowsiness. ## I'm on 100 mg of methadone and I'm sick and bought a box of expectorant mucus relief that says 400 mg of guaifenesin. Is it safe to take this medicine with methadone? ## NEVER, NEVER TAKE MUCINEX WITH METHADONE. Extreme hallucinations and paranoia result. This happened to a family member two times and he ended up behaving erratically and needed a tranquilizer. He does not remember any of it. ## I just took 2 mucinex ...

Can I take Penicillin VK 500mg and Mucinex D along with my Methadone? I'm afraid it may cause breathing problems and would like some clarification. ## Hello, Michelle! How are you? I didn't find any interactions listed between the Penicillin and the Methadone, but there may be issues if you take the Mucinex D, since it contains Pseudoephedrine, which works like a stimulant and the Methadone is a depressant, so you should check with your doctor, before combining those. Penicillin is an antibiotic and according to the FDA, it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. [1] Mucinex-D is listed as containing Guaifenesin and Pseudoephedrine, it is used to alleviate congestion. Typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, in...

Side effects to the Mucinex may include nausea, dizziness and drowsiness. Side effects to Aleve may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.

I have a head cold for which I'm taking Mucinex and Augmentin. Can I take Forskolin along with it? ## According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool), there are no interactions listed between Mucinex and Augmentin. However, when it comes to natural plant-derived OTC supplements such as Forskolin (coleonol) I'm afraid that Western medical literature doesn't cater to this category of medicine. If in doubt, I would encourage you to get in touch with a naturopathic/holistic physician who can make sense of its mechanism of action to verify Forskolin's safety in combination with these other pharmaceutical-based medications. It might also be best to just wait until you recover from that head cold so you don't have to worry about inte...

I am on 26 mg of Methadone and I take 600mg of Mucinex every 12hrs., but I got a prescription for Doxycycline 100mg 2 times a day for 7 days. Can I take them all together? ## According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool), there are no interactions listed between Methadone, Mucinex and Doxycycline. While this doesn't necessarily mean that no interactions exist, it is my hypothesis that this combination is generally regarded as safe. However, if you still have any doubts about your prescriptions, I'd encourage you to consult your prescribing doctor and/or a local pharmacist before moving forward with treatment. Hope this helps!

I've been sick and im on 100 mg of Methadone a day and I was wondering if it would be o.k. to take with Mucinex-DM with my methadone? ## Hi April, According to The University of Maryland's drug interaction tool, there aren't any interactions between Mucinex DM and Methadone. Based off this information alone, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to take the two together. I've also never heard of anyone having issues using these substances coherently. But if still in doubt, I'd encourage you to cross reference additional interaction data and maybe even contact your doctor for a second opinion since this doesn't necessarily mean that no interactions exist. Hope this helps! ## I am taking 100 mg doxycycline. tablet every 12 hours for 7 days. Can I ...

Can MucinexDM and Lisinopril be taken together? ## Hello, Patsy! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between the two, however, you should check with your doctor, before you take the Mucinex DM. Some decongestants can elevated your blood pressure and raise heart rate, so it may not be safe for you to take it. Coricidin has a line of products you may want to look for instead, they are labeled HBP, so you know they are safe to take, if you have high blood pressure. Lisinopril is classified by the FDA as an ACE inhibitor and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increase urination and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Muscinex DM contains guiafenesin (you should know its original name; I barely could p...

I am taking suboxone 8 mg as I have since getting of street drugs 3 years ago. I have a bad bronchial virus. I can't take opiates so I am taking Benzonate 200 and Mucinex (Guaifenesin 600). I just want to make sure the Suboxone and Benzonate don't interact. I read Benzonate can interact with pain relievers. ## I didn't find any problems, or interactions listed, but it is always best to double check to be sure. The FDA does warn that Suboxone carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, constipation, dry mouth, and headache. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you, Suboxone does have its risks, but having lifted the bonds of homelessness, and IV addiction, the benefits outweigh the consequences. I had no interact...
