Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Mucinex is for your cough which helps to expectorate, and that is good for you. On the other hand, Tussin DM is reducing the cough intensity and suppresses it. You can use both simultaneously.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
