Avatar n tn For OTC cough syrup, I use Delsym (Dextromethorphan polistirex) or Mucinex (Guaifenesin). I've never had a problem with either, and I'd consider myself fairly sensitive to cold medications. When I need the big guns, I get my PCP to prescribe Tussionex (chlorpheniramine and hydrocodone) aka. "Liquid Gold". I love this stuff. It's expensive, hence the name. But you WILL stop coughing, and you WILL sleep!
1047147 tn?1328906154 The name Robitussin was used in the title of this FAQ as it is a common brand of cough syrup in the United States. It is used on the fertility boards and newsgroups in the same manner as saying Band-Aid for an adhesive strip used to cover a cut. Any expectorant that contains guaifenesin as the only active ingredient is fine to use. What kind of Robitussin is used to improve cervical mucus? One should buy the plain kind with no letters after it.
Avatar f tn So I currently have a sore throat, and 5 days my doctor gave me dextromethorphan syrup to treat it. I went back today again because my sore throat didn't go away, and a different doctor (in the same clinic) got me this thymol gargle that contained alcohol. The dextromethorphan specifically stated to avoid alcoholic drinks, so can I use both dextromethorphan and the alcoholic throat gargle together?
483733 tn?1326798446 I've had a really bad cold this past week and have been taking a cough syrup with Dextromethorphan in it. I also have an ileal pouch (no large bowel) and have had 'problems' at night the last couple of nights that I've taken the cough syrup. Amazingly though, my fibro pain has been extremely low.
Avatar f tn I've been waking up with a runny nose and a sore throat... which means is about to get bad. Can I take anything to prevent it getting bad?
Avatar f tn FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether dextromethorphan and guaifenesin will harm an unborn baby. Do not use this medicine without a doctor's advice if you are pregnant.
1102149 tn?1259692962 I took over the counter generic mucinex with only active ingredient guafenesin in Oct. and got my BFP in Nov. So, I can't say it helped but who knows. I did notice more CM throughout my cycle and not really being dry like I'm used to. LOL I hope this helps. I have heard people talk about pre-seed and EPO too. Doesn't hurt to try stuff. Good luck...
Avatar f tn Take tylonal cold/flu and vitamin c, and drink Orange juice and get as much sleep as you can. That's what my doctor said bc im 38 weeks and had a cold for a week. I don't know if robitussun is to good for you while your pregnant.
Avatar n tn Well as happens I am taking the medication for different reason and different form (pill format and control of dystonic spasms) and I've taken it as a cough medicine in the past and at prescription dosages it can have side effects of concern in higher dosages.
927769 tn?1275932602 ve started on the generic of mucinex and it only has 400 MG of ONLY GUAIFENESIN. I would say ask your doctor and if they say you shouldn't take it because of birth defects then don't. Also, remember you're only supposed to take it 5 days before O and some doc's say you can take it the day after O. This is because sperm may live up to 5 days in the fertile rich CM. Just a note...
1131217 tn?1260291231 Hey! I feel for you...broken ribs AND a cough is wicked! I'd stay a mile away from the codeine cough syryp because it's an opiate and a lot of people really like it...it could hurt your clean time. Codeine is a cough suppressant and it works well in cough syrup but not for us addicts. I agree with pharma9. Get some cough syrup with dextromethorphan and guaifenesin and take as directed.
Avatar f tn I accidently took too much once and it scared me to death... the Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is very dangerous and is found in most cough syrups. But like any other addiction he has to want to help himself. If you need to talk I am here... sorry I do not have any other information to help.
1777912 tn?1314474892 iv been doing alot of looking on the internet about this sort of thing. there is a cough syrup called Robitussin (guaifenesin cough syrup) i know it sounds stupid because it is cough syrup, but as it has guaifenesin in it, it clears not only the mucas on your chest but also makes your cervical mucas thinner and runnier so the seman can swim through better. look it up on google. but make sure you get the one with guaifenesin in it as the other ones can dry up the cervical mucas .
Avatar f tn Hi i can confirm that the cough syrup is robitussin chesty cough medicine that contains (guaifenesin) only.Its in a red and black box.I have never noticed my cervical mucus ever before and this was my first month on clomid.I took robitussin every morning and evening (5ml dose).You only take it after AF has ended and stop when you ovulate.I drank a glass of grapefruit juice every morning as its supposed to help CM too.
Avatar m tn Also, i take some antiseptic and anti-inflammatory medication like bradoral 0.5 mg (domiphen bromide ). Also, I take a syrup for common cold and influenza (dosage teaspoonful 5ml which contains 160mg paracetamol, 1mg chlorpheniramine maleate, 15mg pseudoephedrine HCI, and 4.5mg dextromethorphan HBr).
Avatar m tn I was severely depressed when I began my month long binge, last May, smoking a lot of weed taking pain killers and xanax and drinking all in varying combinations with each other. It became my escape. DXM's mind and reality bending qualities were just too intriguing for me to stop, so I spent a month trying to figure it out. Instead I ended up destroying my social skills and coming out of it slightly crazy for a while.
1830369 tn?1325622788 my question is this, i drink syrup named Cosome cough syrup (for cough and cold 120 ml ) in a day, This syrup ingredients are such as Each 5ml contains : 1: Dextromethorphan hydrobromide USP............ 10mg 2: Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride USP.............. 30mg 3: chlorpheniramine maleate USP.......................
682098 tn?1236908245 I was wondering if albterol cough syrup might help with my coughing and breathing. I am not a fan of inhalers nor do I like taking pills. Today has been horrible, everytime I open my mouth to talk I cough. I don't feel weezy it's a lot of coughing. I have been extremely busy so that bring about the coughing. I wanted to see if my doctor would call in a prescription for the cough syrup but I wanted to see if maybe someone could give me advise to what you think.
1390858 tn?1279930486 I am an addict of cough syrup dextromethorphan for almost 2 years. Now i just want to leave it.But whenever I leave dexpoten my physic is getting weak,facing panic attack,bad brutal dreams at night. Without it i am not able to perform my works. i am a patient of obsessive compulsive disorder. Now how i can leave dextromethorphan?
Avatar n tn My Pediatrician and our local pharmacist recommend no cough syrup before the age of 6. The reason is that in a small amount of cases it has caused swelling of the brain. If you look at the label on cough syrup for children, even those typically recommend for age 6 and up (at least the brands I have seen.) When my 2 1/2 year old has a cold with a cough I give him milk slightly warmed with honey in it. I have also given him a teaspoon of honey on it's own. It works extremely well.
653169 tn?1303446369 My good friend has a son that keeps buying cough syrup and drinking it like water. He tells his mom, (my friend) that he has a cold, but she says he doesn't seem sick and wonders if he is drinking the stuff to get a high. Her son is 16 yrs. old. She asked my advice, but I don't know much about it, so I told her I would do some research.
