Advil, the brand name for the NSAID ibuprofen and guaifenesin, the expectorant, marketed as Mucinex are often combined in other over-the-counter cold remedies. If you follow the directions on the boxes, you should be fine.
There are no interactions concern with plain Mucinex (i.e. only guaifenisen in it) and plain Advil (only ibuprofen in it). If each is safe for you to take individually, you can take them together.
Your doctor or pharmacist will have the most current information about drugs and should be consulted before taking any drugs together.
Yes, just make sure your using the proper dosage.
No.
Probably would be fine... try taking less than the recommended dosage depending on the age though... But, if you want to be safe, there is Children's Advil.
Lol no!
is it safe to take mycinex after taking albuterol
My husband and I do use these products together, but I would suggest you check with your local pharmacist , depending on the use of other prescribed meds you may take or conditions you may have. Feel better...
There are some who say it is not safe and others who say it is. The best thing to do is to ask your doctors. Here are the responses: No. Mucinex DM is not safe to take while pregnant. The plain Mucinex without the decongestant (DM) is safe to take. No. Mucinex DM is not safe to take while pregnant. The plain Mucinex without the decongestant (DM) is safe to take. The "DM" portion of the medication is not a decongestant. It stands for Dextromethorphan which is a cough suppressant...and which (in the form of Robitussin DM) is considered safe by many OB doctors. Mucinex DM is safe during pregnancy. Had the same issue today actually. 12 weeks pregnant and unsure of what to take. Went to CVS without my cell so I couldn't call my OB. I asked the pharmacist and he said mucinex DM would be best. He recommended not taking anything with sudafed or phenylephrine in it, which rules out any type of Tylenol cold medicine. Mucinex DM is not a decongestant, its a cough suppressant. Mucinex D is the decongestant. If you're congested and coughing, take the Mucinex DM for the cough and a saline nasal spray for the congestion. Pharmacist recommended method.
Advil is not safe to give to animals. If an English Bulldog needs pain medicine a veterinarian should be consulted.
No, you should not take Advil if you are a diabetic. I believe up to 6 Tylenol a day is permitted.
My Cavalier Spaniel has serious nose congestion and I would like to know if it is safe to use Mucinex Nasal Spray. Her vet prescribed Zyrtec but that has proved ineffective.
The Internet and children can be a difficult combination. Children must be protected from predators while on the Internet, and they must learn which information is safe to share and what is unsafe.
No, it is not safe and may cause a reaction.
Advil PM might contains an antihistaminic drug that enhance adverse effects of Ativan (dizziness, sedating, nausea). It is not dangerous, but you might avoid that.
Taking Advil is normally safe. Not seeking medical treatment after the concussion is not. ~ T
