Yes you can take Delsym and Albuterol together. However it is important to understand the potential interactions and side effects that could result from taking both medications together. Delsym is an over-the-counter cough suppressant. It contains dextromethorphan an antihistamine that helps reduce the urge to cough. Albuterol is a prescription medication used to treat Asthma and other breathing disorders such as COPD. It is a bronchodilator meaning it helps to open up the airways in your lungs and make it easier to breathe.

Before taking both medications it is important to discuss the potential side effects and interactions with your doctor. The most common interactions include nausea headache dizziness drowsiness and dry mouth. If you experience any of these side effects you should stop taking both medications and contact your doctor. Additionally Delsym and Albuterol can have dangerous interactions with other medications including:

  • Antidepressants
  • Blood pressure medications
  • Diuretics
  • MAO inhibitors (monoamine oxidase inhibitors)
  • Sedatives

It is important to tell your doctor about all of the medications you are taking before taking Delsym and Albuterol together. If you are taking any of the medications listed above your doctor may want to adjust your dosage or recommend an alternative medication. Additionally it is important to follow the directions on both medications carefully. Taking too much of either medication can increase the risk of serious side effects and drug interactions.
