Cough and Cold Medicine

Yes you can but the Strattera inhibits the conversion from DXM to DXO

Depending on the weight of the person taking the dose; around 2 bottles for the average male, and about 1 for the average female should do the trick.

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.

Its unsafe to take Coricidin because it has other active ingredients. Take Robotussin Liquid Gels. The only active ingredient is dextromethorphan.

These will not interact. You can keep taking your Lysine while you take the cold medicine.

Remember that Nyquil is a combination product. Check ingredients before taking other over the counter products, as they might have the same ingredients.

I wouldn't recommend it. I am also on Abilify and Nyquil night-time relief and nearly crashed my car. Shakes, chills, racing heartbeat, confusion, blurred vision (to the point of barely being able to see), etc. Once home I found out that together these medications can cause "anticholinergic intoxication syndrome" which describes my symptoms exactly. They list it as a "moderate" interaction between the two drugs, but it can cause death in rare, and severe cases.

Most non-prescription drugs aren't meant for babies under 3 years old. You should really visit a doctor or the hospital for inquiries like that, as professionals will know what medicine is safe for a baby to consume.

Some cough medicines are antitussives (cough suppressants) and some are mucolytics (purported to loosen phlegm).

Yes, there is no problem in taking those 2 drugs together.

Read the back of your bottle, and look at the age specifications. Contact your doctor or local 24 hour pharmacy if you are unclear. On that note if some sixteen year old answered yes would you have?

No, you should never give human medications to your pets. Dogs (and cats) react very differently to human medications and this can sometimes be fatal.

Ask your doctor.

Yes, you can generally take acetaminophen and Robitussin with codeine together, as they contain different active ingredients that serve different purposes. However, it is important to follow the dosage instructions on both medications and consult a healthcare professional to avoid any potential interactions or side effects, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications. Always check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're unsure.

I've taken them both before at the same time. I was fine after it.

It would be advisable to stay away from most opioid medications.

No. My daughter was prescribed Cheratussin. She took it with the Ambien and had extreme phsycodelic events. Her hands were misshapen she saw bugs on the wall, people who weren't there, lights that were not on. She also had trouble breathing. My suggestion would be if you do mix the two, use caution. I would not rest until I knew she was going to be ok

The answer is yes but it will raise your INR and you may have to reduce the amount of Warfarin you are taking. How much and how fast it will affect you will vary and is unknown. You should monitor your INR carefully.

According to Drugs.com:

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with NyQuil Liquid. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

* Beta-blockers (eg, propranolol), COMT inhibitors (eg, tolcapone), furazolidone, indomethacin, isoniazid, MAO inhibitors (eg, phenelzine), sodium oxybate (GHB), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because side effects of NyQuil Liquid may be increased

*

* Bromocriptine or hydantoins (eg, phenytoin) because side effects may be increased by NyQuil Liquid

* Guanadrel, guanethidine, mecamylamine, methyldopa, or reserpine because effectiveness may be decreased by NyQuil Liquid

take 5 and yes, it'll get you pretty high. I've done it before

That would be fine. Mucinex is an expectorant. It breaks up mucus and helps you to cough it out. Antacids dissolve in your stomach and react with stomach acid to neutralize it. You could take Tums, Rolaids, or Mylanta safely with Mucines.

NO. The dm in the promethazine IS dextromethorphan , so you would be double dosing .

you can get it at drug stores such as CVS or Walgreens
