singulair and mucinex

Losing thirty pounds and a strict no processed diet has helped. Also Zyrtec allergy pills everyday and Singulair. My insurance will not pay for Singulair at all. Rinsing my sinuses with saline and taking Mucinex. I take a lot of Mucinex this time of year. I used to take Benydrl and Chlortrimeton but they dried me out and impacted the mucus. I now hardly even need my Symbicort much less Albuteral. I used to have to sleep in a recliner. Eating was a bear because of choking.

I have had post nasal drip as long as I can remember. I am a 52 yr old mail, 5'9", 195lbs. My PND gummed up the back of my throat enough in July of this year to wake me everytime I nod off. I am now on sleep medication, clonazepam, Lunesta, now but which is barely working, Atavan is better and I can sleep but sedatives cannot be taken forever and this PND doesn't seem to be going away.

I currently am on Advair 5000, Singulair 10mg, Prednisone, Claritin, Mucinex, Flonase, Albuterol (fast and nebulizer) and Xolair injections every two weeks (300mg). To this date I still have problems weekly-monthly. I am not getting better. Coughing seems to be my biggest symptom, I cough so much and so hard that I start hyperventilating. My doctor says there is not much more he can do medicine wise. My life is totally a disaster.

I then go to my hemotologist, tell him what I was told, he gets quiet for a moment, then reassures me that all my doctors are treating everything the right way; I get IVIG for the CVID, am on Advair 100/50, Singulair and Mucinex, along with other meds for other problems.

I see this is a very old post and I don't know if you ever got a diagnosis. I have had a similar issue for about 10-15 yrs, starting with light "spasms" and now they have increased to severe at times, but only lasting about a minute. I have figured they must be a spasm of some sort due to my neck, and I have Cervical Stenosis now. Sometimes I don't get any and sometimes i have had 14 in a morning.

t know right now I take both zyrtec and singulair in the evening. I think I will also try the Mucinex to see if that helps. I do get some relief from taking Tussionex cough syrup. Kind of strange but opiates tend to thin the mucus production and it seems to numb my throat where I don't feel the PND or whatever it might be.

What is this about Mucinex and Robitussin? I have heard something about Robitussin, but paid absolutely no attention because it was several years ago. Could you explain it to me? I took yet ANOTHER Neg. test this morning....

he began to have a facial tic, dilated pupils and hallucinations. i finally got the message and discontinued the singulair after researching the drug on the internet. after 3 weeks, he was like a different child. he was happier and healthier. his fears, anxiety and all the other side effects just disappeared. this drug can have devastating effects and be undetected by parents. children are unable to express the way the drug is making them feel.

All those do is dry up the mucous and drainage - post nasal drip. I use it and love it. Singulair is a leukotriine modifier. That is one of the many chemicals involved in allergic reactions. As far as which is better, that would be hard to say. They have totally different purposes. Some people say that Singulair has little effect, while I won't miss a dose without having an attack.

My Dr has recommended I try singualr along with Allegra and flonase. He had told me the SIngulair will not make me feel funny, cause anxiety or heart palps etc...yet I see there are a lot of negative side effects. Does anyone have any experience on this medicine or just how safe it is?

Singulair is a leukotriene (loo-koe-TRY-een) inhibitor. Leukotrienes are chemicals your body releases when you breathe in an allergen (such as pollen). These chemicals cause swelling in your lungs and tightening of the muscles around your airways, which can result in asthma symptoms. Singulair is used to prevent asthma attacks in adults and children as young as 12 months old. It is also used to relieve runny nose and sneezing caused by allergies in adults and children as young as 6 months old.

It causes asthma (Arizona Cypress, Mesquite and Palo Verde are the culprits.) Singulair has helped me very successfully in the past. However, I also take a very low dose blood pressure medication (Lisinopril 20mg). I do not have health insurance and have an alternative source for medications. Would it be advisable for me to purchase Singulair for 3 months to get me through those three months next year. This year was a bit difficult without it.

I also use Symbicort and was using my inhaler quite a bit...every night and 1-3 times during the day. I started taking Singulair a month ago and I don't use my inhaler nearly as much anymore. I've used it 3 times at night in the past month (2 of the times I forgot to take Singulair) and a few random times during the day/evening. Just a thought if you don't already take it and you have allergy issues. Take care.

ll just call and ask the Doctor to call me and ask her directly!

Cant take anything in first.trimester and in sencond and third only tylenol products, benadryl, claritin. That is about it. Ia asked three docs and pharmacy a few weeks ago. I am super snotty. Always sneezing and blowing my nose. Apparently its common in pregnancy.

Hello, I'm a 45 year old man, in pretty good shape. Workout every other day 5'11" 185lbs. History of seasonal allergies and sinsus problems. No history of Asthma. In November 2015, I had a really bad allergic reaction to a coworkers perfume and had a very difficult time recovering from it. In February 2016, my doctor prescribed Advair 250/50, once a day and Singulair 10mg at bedtime.

m safe and it seemed to help a little just made me really tired though I have an upper respiratory and sinus infection..

My doc just called me since im super sick and told me only mucinex d and Tylenol. Im 16 weeks.

ve come across several women who took Mucinex or Robitussin to help thin out their cervical mucus. I was wondering if anyone has really tried that and if so, was it successful? Please give as much details as possible so that I can get a better understanding of how that works with the process of TTC. Thank you!

Benedryl is best. Its a class b drug.

I recently read that someone is taking mucinex along with trying to get pregnant...does that work with conceiving?

Does Mucinex help thin your cervical mucus like the Robitussin is supposed to. Its active ingredient is guaifsen (sp?).

I was told not to take mucinex.

I am 30 weeks pregnant, would it be safe to use maximum strength mucinex fast max severe congestion &cough? I called my doctor while I was in the store looking &the nurse said mucinex is fine to take but then I read online it's very dangerous &I have already taken 2 doses :/ so worried right now just wondering if anyone else knows for sure.

I started this cycle on clomid and mucinex, like robitussin, it helps thin ur cm so it's easier to conceive, still waiting for AF so not sure if it worked this cycle or not...but I've heard lots of women using them together since fertility drugs sometimes make ur cm more thick and harder for sperm to swim thru...
