One side effect of Mucolytics is bronchospasm and is therefore contraindicated for asthma patients. Guaifenesin, aka Robitussin, is an expectorant, and should be safe for asthma patients as long as is it is taken as directed. I am a nursing student and this is what I have learned on the subject so far. I stumbled on this question while I was researching the subject.
My doctor told me I can take robitussin DM for my cold. Is robitussin cough+Chest congestion DM the same thing?
D and they said it will be fine to take Robitussin. I took the cough-chest congestion and I feel a lot better.
For about a year now I have had a cough and chest congestion, my doctor has switched my asthma medications several times thinking that might be the reason for my cough and congestion, she's tried many different types of allery medications, I have been to the pulmonologist, had a chest x-ray and nothing was found, but the cough and congestion I still have.
For a cough, try something like guaifenesin, like Robitussin Severe Congestion Liquagels or Mucinex. Avoid dextramethorphan, like Robitussin DM. It is okay to treat the symptoms of your cough, but if you are getting symptoms that point toward bacterial infection requiring antibiotics, make sure you see your doctor. Examples of symptoms to watch for are fever, coughing up colored phlegm, pain in your chest when you cough, shortness of breath, or any symptoms lasting more than 10 days or so.

the only one I could find that resembled that is Robitussin Cough and Chest Congestion and is alcohol-free. Do you all think this is okay to take? Trying to get a hold of the doctor but just wanted everyone's opinion.
Thanks!
My doctor told me it was safe to take... i have taken it and am ok.. but u need to ask ur doctor.
t think coughing and chest congestion is part of it. It is cold and flu season so maybe you have a cold? I could be wrong though.
My midwife told me to take robitussin but never specified which one. If you get one for for cold or cough I think you'll be fine.
My doctor said robitussin dm is the only thing they know of that is safe for pregnancy. There is one for chest congestion and one for dry cough. I hope this helps.
Hav a realy bad flu pains everywhere. Chest is in bits and realy bad head cold.
I'm 31 weeks pregnant can I take robitussin cough+chest congestion DM ?
I don't know what you are allowed to take when you are pregnant, pharmaceutical or otherwise... but I'd suggest making sure you eat well, stay hydrated. Maybe run a hot shower for a while then go outside in the cold (like when babies have croup---gives some relief). I've heard oil of oregano or eucalyptus oil, a few drops in boiling water, your head with a towel over it and you inhale, can help with phlegm.
