Question 3

what to take for a sinus infection--sudafed?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Decongestants can be helpful, but rinsing the nose with salt water can be even more helpful. There are low-volume sprays available in the drug store such as ocean spray or simply saline. High- volume rinsing with a neilmed bottle or neti pot are often even better. You need to see your physician if  your symptoms lasts more than two weeks or you develop fever or facial headaches.

Question 4

can i take one sudafed every night if i have high blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Be careful: Sudafed and other oral decongestants will raise blood pressure.  Other safe alternatives are topical nasal steroids and singulair (montelukast) both of which have decongestant properties.  Topical afrin is safe used as directed in the instructions but may cause elevated BP in some individuals.

Question 5

can i take benadryl (diphenhydramine) and sudafed while taking wellbutrin?

Accepted Answer

No : All these medications  are known to raise blood pressure. Check with your primary care physician what is the best treatment for you. Avoid self-medicating! Good luck and keep your health the best way possible

Question 6

Accepted Answer

: Yes, you can.

Question 7

will sudafed get rid of post nasal drip? if so, how long may it take to do so?

Accepted Answer

Temporary relief: in 12-24 hours. Not a long term solution. If postnasal drip is due to a viral infection it should clear in 5-7 days. If due to an allergy, different medications may need to be prescribed. See your GP if not better in a week. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Question 8

can you take sudafed ..the pseudoephedrine version and advil (ibuprofen) pm together?

Accepted Answer

Sudafed and Advil (ibuprofen): Plain Advil and Sudafed can be taken together as long as you do not have any history of serious side effects to either agent.  Take for a short period of time, 7-10 days. Advil also has a preparation for congestion.  Advil Congestion contains Ibuprofen and Phenylephrine. Phenylephrine is not to be take with Sudafed. Make sure it is regular Advil (Ibuprofen).

Question 9

is it okay to take aleve, excedrin, sudafed, and zantac (ranitidine) at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Not really: I would not take Excedrin and Aleve (naproxen) at  the same time. I would take these two neds a few hours apart. The rest are ok to take together unless you have an allergy to these meds or some other medical condition such as diabetes or hypertension that could be affected by these drugs. Always be careful with taking too many meds.

Question 10

is it safe to take allegra (fexofenadine) d or sudafed while pregnant if you are sick?

Accepted Answer

Allegra (fexofenadine) Ok: but sudafed is questionable due to potential side effects.  The most critical period is during the 1st trimester when the baby's organs are developing.
