Yes. Always ask the advice if a Pharmacist if you have questions.
Can you put Vicks Vaporub on your dogs nose?
You should not do that. That is not how Vaporub should be used and you could cause yourself more problems if the ingredients make their way to your lungs.
The product is designed to be rubbed on your skin (chest & neck) where body warmth releases the camphor, eucalyptus and menthol vapors to ease coughs and congestion.
I used to take mucinex alot to get high, even 7 days in a row. and Yes it will make you trip. I used to think I was in a different world and dimension also. Mine always lasted 2 days because I took alot and Im a very small person but I would never go in public because I could barley walk and I had to hold onto walls. I have only got sick when I drank alcohol when I was on it. If you feel sick, I always just ate (even tho its hard, lol) and i felt better. Its really fun but theres a chance your lungs will colaspe and I have had friends who have been sent to the hospital because of overdosing and my best friend was told by her doctor that she does not know how long she will live but she is currently just dieing from mucinex. I have quit and will never do it again. Dont try it.
What is the best medicine for cough with swine flu?
It would be good to pick the ones that help expectoration as well as cough, since lung secretions that are not coughed up are part of the problem in development of secondary pneumonia from the flu, which can be a life-threatening complication. My personal choice for the best of the cough/expectorant OTC medicine would be any cough preparations that contain Guaifenesin as the primary active ingredient. This is made from a natural product with centuries, if not longer, of safe and effective use for this purpose, and it loosens congestion and sputum better than other choices for me to help clear my lungs and airway.
Guaifenesin is available OTC in generic and store brand cough medicines at very reasonable prices, and in brand name OTC cough and expectorant treatments, such as Robitussin and Mucinex. I usually prefer to use cough medicines that do not also contain decongestants, because they are not needed every time you need an expectorant or cough medicine and can be taken separately when they are really needed. Consult your pharmacist for choosing OTC medicines that can be taken safely together.

No, do not take these together. Both of these have an ingredient which causes sleepiness. If you check the label --- you will see that it is the same drug (diphenhydramine). You would be taking a double dose of this, which could cause trouble breathing or trouble waking up in the morning. If you are over 60, you could run a risk of falling from taking a double dose.
Can you take mucinex and cefprozil together?
i really need to know the answer to this question also. my ear is very stuffy and i cant hear out of it, but the doctor already put me on Cefprozil (Cefzil) for my OTHER ear infection from two days ago. this one just started a few hours ago. im pretty sure mucinex will help the stuffiness in my ear. i just don't know if i can take it with cefzil.
yes, but what's even more helpful are mints. they can really soothe your throat and cough.
Can guaifenesin cause a false positive in a urine drug test?
Yes! It did for me and my mother. I tested positive for amphetamines after taking mucinex that morning. They even sent my urine to the lab and it came back for 1000 nanograms of the amphetamines. Plus back a few years ago my mothers pain mangemeny doctor told her mucinex can come back positive for meth or ecastcy. No matter what other websites say. Its very VERY possible.
Guaifenisen, the active ingredient of Mucinex and Robutussin, is an expectorant that thins sectretions and so makes them easier to cough up. It can intefere with testing for certain conditions but usually will not, all by itself, cause a false positive drug test.
The prepararations that also contain a decongestant, usually labelled with a "-D", do contain stimulants that can trigger false positive tests for amephetamines (not really a false positive since the ephedra is a weak drug in the same class).
Preparations containing the cough suppressant dextromethorphan, usually labelled "-DM", can trigger a positive result for codeine and opiates.
Can you take cough syrup with codeine with metronidazole?
I took vicodin with metronidazole last night, and woke up in the middle of my sleep feeling major shorness of breath. However this is likely due to my reaction to vicodin. I took some deep breaths and relaxed for a bit before i went to sleep and was fine. Also i smoked marijuana right after taking the mix dont know what that contributed.
