I have the flu and am flying tonight. I have some Ativan for the plane and I take a Gravol for motion sickness. Can I also take syrup?

Can I combine this with cough syrup or is it too much?

Hello Ma'am,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

You are already on your way, but be aware that you may be drowsy for quite a long time after landing if you are taking both Ativan™, Gravol™ and cough syrup (if it contains DM). I am of the opinion that the Ativan™ is too much in this combination.

Happy travels!

Alexander
