Yes, pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, a decongestant, can generally be taken with dextromethorphan HBr, a cough suppressant, and guaifenesin, an expectorant. However, it's important to follow dosing instructions and consider any individual health conditions or medications that may interact. Always consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist before combining medications to ensure safety.
No. It is a combination of an expectorant (Guaifenesin) and an cough-suppressant, (dextromethorphan). Dextromethorphan (DXM) actually possess CHOLINERGIC properties. If taken in excess, cholinergic toxidrome can be induced.
The expectorant drug guaifenesin is made from the guaiac tree (also associated with several Native American herbal treatments).
Acetaminophen, guaifenesin and phenylephrine indicate a cold medicine. It is used as a pain reliever and expectorant.
Yes, especially those with guaifenesin as the active ingredient.
The active ingredients in Advil Cold and Sinus as of August 2016 are ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine. Some cough syrups also contain ingredients like pseudoephedrine, and doubling up on those ingredients may cause side effects, particularly for those with heart problems or high blood pressure. If you choose a cough medicine that only contains guaifenesin, or guaifenesin and dextromethorphan, you won't experience drug interactions with Advil Cold and Sinus.
One method to separate pseudoephedrine from guaifenesin is by using solvent extraction, such as with chloroform and water. Pseudoephedrine has higher solubility in chloroform compared to guaifenesin, allowing for separation. Alternatively, chromatography techniques, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), can also be employed for a more precise separation.
Yes, you can but it is not a good decision to do. You could die from an overdose of Dextromethorphan Guaifenesin, and admorphine

Although it often comes bundled with antihistimine in the same product (cough syrup) it is not one. It's an expectorant.
Yes, there are also, hydrocodone/ibuprofen preparations. With cough suppressants, there are guaifenesin, and pseudoephedrine preparations as well.
Both, if you type it in on google exactly how it appears on the bottle it'll bring up more info
Virtually all Over-The-Counter cough medicine contains dextromethorphan hydrobromide (HBr). The Delsym brand contains dextromethorphan polystyrex, which is a more gradual release form. Check the ACTIVE INGREDIENTS list on the box. Some contain acetaminophen (Tylenol), guaifenesin(sp?) (Mucinex), and/or phenylephrine hydrochloride as well as dextromethorphan. However it shouldn't be hard to find cough medicine only containing dextromethorphan HBr as an active ingredient. The most common form I see is as a thin (liquidy) syrup, thick syrup, melt tabs (off-brand at Walmart), and as caplets (Robitussin only). Typically it's 15mg per 5ml, or 354mg per standard 4oz (118ml) bottle.
