Best Answer

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.

Is mucinex dm safe to take while breastfeeding?

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.
