Re: robitussin and methotrexate

[Guest guest]

Hi

That's great, thanks! It has sparked some curiousity. My rheumy had

recommended I take robitussin non-drowsy main ingredient (guaffinessin) one

hour

BEFORE I begin to take my MTX. I mentioned to him that I get " the fuzzies "

from

it. He immediately thought of Chemo side effects and that's how this came to

be, as mtx is such a strong drug, the robistussion offsets or can absorb or

coat the stomach, etc...as you can see, I'm still a little confused about

this myself. I have been doing it for 2 weeks now and for what it's worth has

made me feel a little better. I am not happy to be up at the moment, my right

hip had the nerve to wake me up. I'll have to have a chat with it as we are

driving to upstate NY this afternoon and it must behave!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. May as well stay up now as our new washing machine

comes today as

well. Have a happy and safe weekend everyone, yay fall!!! I really mean

that! I love fall! " GS "

Hi , sorry have lost the thread this came from so will give new title.

Just googled 'robitussin antiemetic' and came up with a medscape article,

where it can be used as a helpful adjunct for chemo induced sickness.

may be able to give the link. I am no good at that sorry. You can

subscribe (free) to Medscape.

Best wishes, Chris

Heidi,

I am so glad that this topic came up. I will check with my rheummy

when I get to resume.....no RA meds at this time, yuck!

Enjoy that new washer. I hated having to replace both washer and

dryer in June, my gosh! but what a wondrful job they do.

I am ordering your hand to behave also. I hope it listens, seems no

one here does. LOL

Have a safe trip and enjoy the beauty of upstate NY.
