Best Answer

Because venlafaxine is an antidepressant, I would be careful with what OTCs you take. It is suggested to use non-pharmacologic remedies such as lots of water, honey, humiditiy/hot showers, or menthol rubs (such as Vick's Vapor Rub) first to alleviate symptoms. Otherwise, make sure what you are taking does not include dextromethorphan, as taking this with venlafaxine can cause serontonin syndrome which can be severe enough to send you to the hospital. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you have any questions about the product and drug interactions.

If you are ill and taking cough medicine while driving do you have worry if the medicine is by prescription?

Follow the directions on the packaging! Then use some common sense. Some states look at the possible effects of some cough medicine as an impairment. Some states leave the driver in charge about the decision. It is up to you to be a responsible driver. It is up to you to take responsibility for your actions.
