Robitussin Children’s Honey Daytime & Nighttime Cough and Chest Congestion DM Cough Relief Liquid FAQs
What is the difference between the Robitussin Honey Maximum Strength Daytime and Nighttime products?
The Daytime product contains Dextromethorphan HBr (a cough suppressant) and Guaifenesin (an expectorant) to relieve cough and chest congestion. The Nighttime product contains Dextromethorphan HBr (a cough suppressant) and Doxylamine Succinate (an antihistamine) to relieve cough and help you sleep.
Can I take both the Daytime and Nighttime products together?
No, the label explicitly states, "Do not take both products within 6 hours of each other."
How do the active ingredients work?
In the Daytime formula, Dextromethorphan HBr temporarily relieves cough, and Guaifenesin helps loosen phlegm and thin bronchial secretions. In the Nighttime formula, Dextromethorphan HBr controls the impulse to cough, and Doxylamine Succinate relieves symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, itchy, watery eyes due to allergies, which also helps you sleep.
What is the correct dosage for the Daytime product?
Adults and children 12 years and over should take 20 mL every 4 hours. Children under 12 should not use this product. You should not take more than 6 doses in a 24-hour period.
What is the correct dosage for the Nighttime product?
The dosage for the Nighttime product is the same as the Daytime product: 20 mL every 4 hours for adults and children 12 years and over.
How should I measure the dose?
You should only use the dosing cup that is provided with the product.
Can I use the Nighttime product to help a child sleep?
No, the label warns, "Do not use to sedate a child or to make a child sleepy."
Are there any medications I should not take with these products?
You should not use either product if you are currently taking a prescription monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) or for two weeks after stopping an MAOI drug.
When should I ask a doctor before using these products?
You should ask a doctor before use if you have a cough with excessive mucus, or a chronic cough due to conditions like smoking, asthma, chronic bronchitis, or emphysema. For the Nighttime product, you should also consult a doctor if you have glaucoma or trouble urinating due to an enlarged prostate.
