Q. Is it safe to take Salbutamol if I have heart disease?

Q. I have started using Salbutamol and I am experiencing headaches and shakiness. Is this because of Salbutamol and will these go away?
Yes, it could be due to Salbutamol. Feeling shaky is a common side effect of Salbutamol which goes away after some time. For headaches, drink plenty of water, get sufficient rest and avoid alcohol. Usually headaches go away after a week. If they persist for a long time, contact your doctor.
Q. When should I take Salbutamol?
Use Salbutamol as and when you need it. Salbutamol relieves the symptoms of asthma like coughing, shortness of breath and tightness in the chest. You can also take it to prevent asthma attacks in circumstances where you know it may occur (e.g., after strenuous exercise or unavoidable exposure to allergen).
Q. Can I smoke if I have been prescribed Salbutamol?
No, you should not smoke while taking Salbutamol. Smoking irritates the lungs. The medicine may make breathing more difficult, especially in patients who have asthma. Take advice from your doctor if you are finding it hard to avoid smoking.

Q. What is Guaifenesin used for?
Guaifenesin is an expectorant, mainly used to relieve chest congestion by aiding the removal of mucus.
Q. How long can I take Guaifenesin?
Consult your doctor for use more than 7 days.

Q. Can I take Guaifenesin with phenylephrine, ibuprofen, amoxicillin, and paracetamol (acetaminophen)?
There are no known drug interactions between phenylephrine, ibuprofen, amoxicillin, and paracetamol (acetaminophen) and Guaifenesin. However, consult your doctor about all medications currently taken before starting and while on Guaifenesin.
Q. Can I take Guaifenesin with Sudafed (pseudoephedrine-decongestant preparation) and Dayquil (OTC cold and cough preparation), Benadryl, benzonatate?
Guaifenesin can be taken with other cold and cough preparation including Sudafed, Dayquil, Benadryl, and benzonatate. However, other formulations containing guaifenesin must be avoided to avoid a double dose. Also, Guaifenesin should not be combined with cough suppressants in the treatment of cough since the combination would not be logical and you may be exposed to unnecessary side effects.
