Can Mucosolvan, Nebbud and Actifed be used at the same time?

Good morning , the 4-year-old daughter got from the family doctor such drugs : Mucosolvan 1 ml in the morning , Nebbud 0.25 after 2 ml in the morning and evening and Actifed in the morning, afternoon and evening . Aren't these drugs mutually exclusive?

In this case, the effect of Mucosolvan and Actifed is the opposite. Mucosolvan contains ambroxol, a mucolytic substance that leads to an increase in the amount of secretion, its liquefaction, and thus used in wet cough. One of the components of Actifed is dextromethorphan, a drug that typically inhibits the cough reflex, used in dry cough. The combination of these two drugs in the described way, i.e. Mucosolvan and Actifed in the morning, is definitely contraindicated. This can lead to liquefaction of the secretion with the simultaneous lack of expectoration, which can lead to bacterial superinfection. Antitussive syrup is sometimes used along with an expectorant. However, it is given only at night, in case of a strong cough that hinders sleep, and not along with an expectorant during the day. I suggest contacting your doctor to check the correctness of the dosage. For my part, I would like to stress that you should remember to rinse/wash your baby's mouth after each inhalation with Nebbud. I attach links through which you can, m.in, check the availability of the described drugs in pharmacies or make a reservation: - https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/52516/nebbud-zawiesina/apteki; - https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/2010/actifed-syrop/apteki; - https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/50563/mucosolvan-inhalacje-plyn/apteki.
