View allI've been having a really bad cough with lots of white phlegm, and my doctor recommended I take Cepodem XP 325. It's not getting better though, so I'm wondering if it's okay to add Pulmoclear along with Cepodem. What do you think?
It's best to consult your doctor before adding Pulmoclear with Cepodem XP 325, as combining medications may need careful consideration. If your cough persists, a follow-up with your doctor might help to adjust your treatment plan.
