Brief Answer:
Yes, you can take Mucinex. There is no interaction between them.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using HCM to post your question.

Yes, you can use Mucinex together with Dextromethorphan. There is no combination between the two drugs. They are actually used together in many pharmaceutical preparations too, so complement each other very well.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.

Regards,
Dr.Papaqako
