Why wouldn’t a medication with both an expectorant and a cough suppressant cancel each other out?
In: 1
Those do entirely different things – expectorants make it so lung mucus is more fluid/more of it is produced. Cough suppressant prevents cough reflex causing you to cough when bronchi or trachea are irritated. Taking both means there’s no cough to irritate bronchi further, but mucus can flow upward helping clear the airways
