Darling, if you're feeling under the weather and popping cough medicine like candy, the last place you should be is behind the wheel of a car. It's not safe for you or anyone else on the road. Pull over, take care of yourself, and leave the driving to someone who isn't hopped up on meds. Stay sassy and stay safe, honey.
i took a valium in the afternoon and at 5pm i started taken cough medicine. should i not have had cough medicine to nite
No
Follow the directions on the packaging! Then use some common sense. Some states look at the possible effects of some cough medicine as an impairment. Some states leave the driver in charge about the decision. It is up to you to be a responsible driver. It is up to you to take responsibility for your actions.
When I did an experiment I got a pH of 8 for cough medicine. It has to be a base because bases decrease pain while it's the opposite for acids!
That should not be a problem as long as it does not contain dextromethorphan, which doesn't play nicely with downers.
If I am taking klonopin to sleep at night can I also take tussionex cough syrup (w/codeine)?
Depends on why you are taking the medication. For a cold or cough different medications are prescribed. The dosage depends on your height and weight and the type of medicine you are taking, some are every 6-8 hours, while others are once a day.
Yes, you can take Sudafed or a decongestant while taking Benzonatate. Benzonatate is a cough suppressant and does not contain a decongestant.
Because venlafaxine is an antidepressant, I would be careful with what OTCs you take. It is suggested to use non-pharmacologic remedies such as lots of water, honey, humiditiy/hot showers, or menthol rubs (such as Vick's Vapor Rub) first to alleviate symptoms. Otherwise, make sure what you are taking does not include dextromethorphan, as taking this with venlafaxine can cause serontonin syndrome which can be severe enough to send you to the hospital. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you have any questions about the product and drug interactions.
