Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Frequent Coughing And Throat Congestion Be Side Effect Of Below Medicines?
My meds are as follows: Plavix (Clopidogrel) 75 MG Protonix (Pantoprazole-Generic) 40 mg Fenofibrate Capsules 134 Mg Metoprolol Tartrate 25 mg Is there any indication that either of these will cause frequent coughing or chronic throat congestion as phlegm gathering on the vocal cords?
Hello.From the drugs that you refer,only metoprolol can cause coughing secondary to bronchial spasm, but is not a common side effect .If you have cough, phlegm and throat congestion the most likely diagnosis is infectious pharyngitis. Go to your doctor for evaluation and treatment.I wish you good health. (If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
