Question
can i take robitussin cough and cold with theraflu cold. or with tylenol cold severe or with alka seltzer plus cold
There is no reported adverse drug-drug interaction between the ingredients if these medications. However, you can have problems due to overdose of chlorpheniramine (contained in all 4 medications) or dextromethorphan (contained in all these medications except alka seltzer plus cold). Instead of mixing the medicines, result would be better if you take either 'Theraflu Flu' only or 'Tylenol Cold Head Congestion Day and Night ' only.
