Drug interactions?

I take Lexapro and have been taking Mucinex DM for Covid for almost 3 weeks now. I just read that those two drugs can be very dangerous together and I didn’t know that.. What do I do?

There's no known interaction between Lexapro and Mucinex (guaifenesin). Mucinex is a type of drug called an expectorant. It's used to treat chest congestion and cough. Delsym (dextromethorphan), a different treatment for cough, is known to interact with Lexapro.

Always check with your pharmacist if you have any questions, especially drug interactions.
