There are some who say it is not safe and others who say it is. The best thing to do is to ask your doctors. Here are the responses:
No. Mucinex DM is not safe to take while pregnant. The plain Mucinex without the decongestant (DM) is safe to take.
No. Mucinex DM is not safe to take while pregnant. The plain Mucinex without the decongestant (DM) is safe to take.
The "DM" portion of the medication is not a decongestant. It stands for Dextromethorphan which is a cough suppressant...and which (in the form of Robitussin DM) is considered safe by many OB doctors.
Mucinex DM is safe during pregnancy. Had the same issue today actually. 12 weeks pregnant and unsure of what to take. Went to CVS without my cell so I couldn't call my OB. I asked the pharmacist and he said mucinex DM would be best. He recommended not taking anything with sudafed or phenylephrine in it, which rules out any type of Tylenol cold medicine. Mucinex DM is not a decongestant, its a cough suppressant. Mucinex D is the decongestant. If you're congested and coughing, take the Mucinex DM for the cough and a saline nasal spray for the congestion. Pharmacist recommended method.
I got a cold shorly after the birth of my son and my doctor told me Mucinex-D was the safe product to take while nursing. I would double check with your doctor first, though, before taking anything over the counter.
Hi, better to avoid it specially if your baby is under 12 months age.
Do not take any medications while pregnant , even over the counter ones, without consulting your Dr first.

Can you take mucinex while taking methadone?
YES, it is safe to take Mucinex while taking Methadone. I contacted a pharmacist to confirm that it is safe, because I needed to know the same thing. They told me it is safe but they wouldn't take them directly together. She said to wait like an hour or so between each medicine. Then she said that is a good rule of thumb for any medications that you are taking. So yes, you can take them together just wait an hour in between.
