Can I use Mucinex?
Okay, right in a minute I am on Clariton because of my allergies. I took it about 2 hours ago and all it did be help my watery and itchy eyes. My feeler is still very congested. Can I use Mucinex even though I took my Cariton about 2 hours ago?
gratefulness so much!
Answer: Yes, there is no interaction between the two. You can take it without risk..
Mucinex is a product that increases secretions from the goblet cell. These cells trap the water and increase the mucous so that you can carry rid of it as well as infection.
R is right , there is no drug interaction, however, the Claritin will dry you up and the Mucinex will loosen you up. There is no route to know which reaction will occur. It may go against the other out, or one may over ride the other. I f you are stuffy and congested, I would suggest Claritin D if you know it is allergies. If it seems to be a cold take mucinex and Sudafed or Mucinex D and drink like mad of water.
Use a humidifier, avoid, dairy, caffeine, and tobacco. Claritin may take 3-4 days to work if your starting it very soon. Mucinex should begin much sooner..
Yes you can but you might want to switch to Claritin D it has a decongestant contained by it. Mucinex will thin mucus but does nothing for congestion (other than strong the mucus making it easier to get out when you blow your nose). Actually I take Mucinex D and it help the most. Buy the generic the name brand is too expensive. I can get the generic for 1/4 the price of the entitle brand. I hope this helps. Don't take Claritin D and Mucinex D at alike time because they both have Pseudophed (spelling) in them.
