can be taken; no documented interaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. There is no documented interaction between mucinex (Guaifenesin) & lexapro (escitalopram) BUT you need to make sure that mucinex does not contain dextromethorphan along with Guaifenesin.
However everybody interacts differently with medicines. So if after taking then together you feel any unusual symptom like fever, rash or itching then you need to consult your treating doctor immediately.


Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
