Question 1

took 1 sudafed can i drink alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Generally yes: But how much alcohol are you talking about.  Sudafed is relatively without side effects, but it can elevate blood pressure, as can alcohol too.  However, if you are using a decongestant because you have a cold, alcohol is not necessarily the best thing when you are fighting any kind of infection.  The safe drinking limit in women is no more than 1 standard drink per day, and less than 3 at 1 time.

Question 2

what are the possible side effects of long term use of sudafed pe and rhinocort together with alcohol?

Accepted Answer

See below: Sudafed pe and alcohol may have additive effects such as making you more hyper, or increasing your blood pressure, in extreme cases causing a stroke or heart attack. Rhinocort is mostly safe. Long term use of anything, especially alcohol, but also sudafed pe, is not good for you, consult your doctor for alternatives.

Question 3

what are the effects of pseudoephedrine and alcohol combined?

Accepted Answer

Very buzzed : The sudafed is a stimulant the alcohol is a depressent. Depending on how much of each substance and your own personal body chemistry will determine the effects that you experience.

Btw - i would not recommend this. The alcoholic "energy drinks" do the same thing.

Question 4

Question 5

can i take sudafed pe with meclizine?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Pseudoephedrine and the Antihistamine Meclizine is a Decongestant Antihistamine combination . So it is okay in case of allergic Rhinosinusitis!

Question 6

can i take sudafed pe if im a diabetic?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: I try to avoid recommending sudafed to people who have high blood pressure. People with diabetes also would be better to avoid it. But if it is once in a while and taking safer measures such as nasal saline, nasal steroid fail to relief nasal congestion then i would say it is not a big issue to take a few of them.

Question 7

can i take dayquil and sudafed together?

Accepted Answer

NO: DayQuil contains PHENYLEPHRINE a DECONGESTION similar to SUDAPHED!   Rapid heart beat and a number of other symptoms are possible!

Hope this helps!
