When I travel and need medical advice I always think of Walgreens first, maybe I should use this same idea at home. In my earlier post I spoke about our expereince with another pharmacist, so after we was done with most of our shopping I suggest to my husband going to Walgreens. Here’s the only reason why Walgreens isn’t always my first choice they are so expensive.I wish I would have waited to get the meds the pharmacist suggested until we went to target. I spend 9.99 on the generic stuff, I was just thinking I gotta get something to help me breath and break up my congestion. I am fairly.
We went straight to the pharmacist, I explained to him everything. I made sure to mention I have already had an allergic reaction to a cough syrup because of the fake sugars in it. I told him anything safe for a diabetic isn’t going to be safe for me.
Over a year ago I was in the ER with an allergic reaction to cough syrup form the sugar, it was one of the most unsettling things for my husband and maybe for me. My husband now before letting me eat anything reads labels asks question. I think he scared of seeing me that weak. I love him he great. The pharmastic took time to listen. Suggested the same thing I was doing already. I explained to him I was already using Sudafed PE, and it not working enough for the congestion. It works but not strong enough. He them suggested continue doing what I been doing and get some Mucus Relief DM. He said Sudafed didn’t have a strong enough cough med in it to help break it all up. I asked him was it safe to take both of them at the same time, he said yes. I looked at the active ingredants Sudafed has only 100mg of the Expectorant and the Mucos relief has 400mg. I not sure how much is to much but 500mg to me seems a little on the higher side, but it has work pretty good as far as helping me not cough so much over night. I started talking it right away when I got it so I had 2 doses before going to bed. I still coughed but wasn’t up all night. My husband was looking at everything there we like browsing, one thing I didn’t see there was weight loss pills. I ended up deciding on the Mucus relief and not the name brand.
What amazes me how you can go to one place and get some form of answer and go to another place and be treated like your in there hair. I am hoping this works because if it don’t then it means I have to see a doctor and get on something else and I don’t wanna do that.
