No. Mucinex has decongestive properties just as sudafed does but its not the same medication. Mucinex is the brand of guaifenesin.

No, sudafed will not show up as methamphetamine on a drug test. While its part in creating meth is most imperative it is only a mere part of the equation.


What is the chemical name for sudafed?

Sudafed is a brand name, so it's hard to say, since there are different formulations. The active ingredient in plain old original Sudafed was pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, while the "active" ingredient in the new Sudafed PE is phenylephrine hydrochloride. (Note: in some locations the new stuff is marketed as simply Sudafed, so if you're looking for a decongestant that actually decongests better than a placebo does, check the ingredients list).


Can you take Mucinex D and Benadryl at the same time?

Technically, yes. There will be no interaction with the Flexeril, and Benadryl is an antihistamine (which blocks allergens), whereas Mucinex D is a mucus-alleviater with a decongestant added. It would be better to skip the Benadryl, however, because taking both together could drastically dry out your mucus- membranes.

I just took them both at the same time. I also took Amoxicillin 10 minutes later. The mixture of Imitrex and Mucinex D will just make you really drowsy like I am now.


Can you take mucinex dm and phentermine?

You can not take the Sudafed at the same time as the phenteramine. My PA told me that I needed to be off the phentermine for at least 24 hours before I could take my first dose of Sudafed for head congestion. If they are taken together your heart rate could be elevated to an unhealthy level.


Who manufactures mucinex?

The expectorant known as Mucinex is not a product name itself. It is a drug and the term "Mucinex" is used in expectorant products. Some of the products include Mucinex DM, Mucinex Kids Cough Expectorant, Maximum Strength Mucinex and many others.


What happens when you snort Sudafed PE?

Sudafed PE contains phenylephrine as the active ingredient. This is the same ingredient as most nose sprays. Most likely you will experience congestion relief, and maybe an increase in blood pressure. Snorting it will probably work better than swallowing it for its intended purpose, but you can just get nasal spray.
