Yes, you can. Even if you don't it cause some serious bodily harm.

Don't drink excess amounts of any cough medicine containing anything other than DXM. Not that doing that is smart in the first place, but whatever, at least it doesn't cause any serious damage.

  That's why the box says "Use as directed." That means, use as directed and don't drink too much or you may die a horrible, painful death.
