i'm sorry to hear your son's going through this and i'm glad he sought medical attention. "z-pack" is the common name for a particular dosing regimen of azithromycin which is an antibiotic. mucinex-dm is the brand name of a combination medication that includes an expectorant (which thins and loosens mucus in the airways) and a cough suppressant. it should be safe to take both the z-pack and the mucinex-dm at the same time. in telling you this i'm assuming your son has no known drug allergies. there are no known interactions between azithromycin and the ingredients in mucinex. best wishes to your son for a speedy recovery!
can mucinex dm and z-pack be taken together? . my son a college freshman likely has walking pneumonia. today his second trip to the health center in a week he was prescribed a z-pack for his symptoms: hacking cough fatigue fever and chills. his cough sounds alarming over the phone and is preventing him from getting much sleep. can he take mucinex dm to suppress his cough so he can sleep/rest?
