Can Mar-cof Be Taken With Muxinex And Zyrtec For Cough And Chest Congestion?
I took a dose of Mar-cof bp this morning at 10:00 am with a generic zyrtec 10 mg and a 600 mg muxinex tablet for chest congestion and coughing. I just realized what was in the prescription cough medicine when I did an online search. should I be concerned?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query.Most likely you are having a lower respiratory infection.If signs of bacterial infection like thick or yellowish sputum i advise antibiotics like azithromycin or co-amoxiclav.Mucinex is good for congestion.Mar-cof is a cough suppressant which has pheniramine and codeine.So when pheniramine is taken zyrtec is not needed as both are antihistamines.It is better to have a physical examination with your doctor.Have some warm chicken soup with pepper and tea with lemon.Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
