Pseudoephedrine is not recommended if you have high blood pressure

and/or are on bp meds. I think guaifensin is OK.

When I was chronic renal insufficiency rather than ESRD, my doctors didn't

seem to think Robitussin was a problem when I had a bad cold (it's basically

guaifenesin). Pseudoephedrine is also one that nobody seemed to think was a

problem, when needed. However, it can raise the blood pressure significantly

in some people. Personally, I would ask the pharmacist if it's Ok given your

level of kidney function. It's one of those things where you can read all

kinds of warnings, but are often prescribed in the real world anyway. Any

dextrometorphan in your medication? That one knocked me out completely. It

felt like a large dose of morphine.

Actually I just got off the phone with the pharmacist. He said to half it due

to the fact that I have high b/p. He couldn't find anything regarding a renal

dose on the bottle insert. With as loopy as I feel on it after only taking one

pill more than 24 hours ago (I'm supposed to do 1 twice a day) I'm thinking I'll

wait on taking any more and call the GP in the morning.

Amy, my concern is you comment of feeling loopy after only 1 pill 24 hrs

ago, sometimes a small allergic reaction can cause that feeling of being

loopy also. I would definitely call your doc tomorrow and let him know how

the med made you feel before I myself would take another one.

Please feel better

Cathy
