Zithromax - Can I take mucinex DM while taking the z pack?

The z-pack is the packaging, the med you are taking is zithromax.

From personal experience, the Z-pack is prescribed for upper respiratory bacteria; i.e., sinus infections, strep throat, coughs, and so on. It is an antibiotic. Mucinex DM is a decongestant, which dries up the mucous from above infections. I have taken both medications together on many occasions. BUT, if you have problems with allergies, sensitivities to any medication at all, or have a compromised immune system, you definitely should check with your doctor. If you can't check with the doctor for some reason, ask the pharmacist.

Hope that you feel better soon!!

I'm not sure about this and I can't find any information on this so your best bet is to ask either our doctor or pharmasist. they should have the answer to your question. sorry that I couldn't help. Good luck Laneyzig! ~~~happybrandee~~~
