Question 1

what happens if i take nyquil and advil (ibuprofen) pm at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Nyquil: Not sure why u need both, but there should be no harmful interaction besides more sedation.

Question 2

is it ok to take nyquil and advil (ibuprofen) at the same time to relieve a fever?

Accepted Answer

NyQuil Aleve (naproxen): Both can be taken together.

Question 3

i am sick and i just took advil cold and sinus 3 hours ago. how soon can i take nyquil?

Accepted Answer

8 hours.: Taking either one of them would be enough unless you want to be drowsy . Nyquil Cold And Flu (Acetaminophen / Dextromethorphan / Doxylamine) Advil Cold And Sinus (Ibuprofen / Pseudoephedrine) is a good combination medicine to relieve pain and congestion, but it's more medicine than you need if you only have one symptom.

Question 4

can i take advil (ibuprofen) and nyquil one right after the other?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can take advil (ibuprofen) and nyquil cold and flu together

Question 5

is it okay to take gel nyquil capsules and children's liquid advil (ibuprofen) together?

Accepted Answer

Try to space them: Out 4-6 hours apart. Nyquil has tylenol (acetaminophen) which is a pain killer and combining with advil would be a double whammy. If u already took both at the same time, it won't harm u. Take care!

Question 6

how long do i have to wait to take nyquil cold which has acetominaphen after taking 1 advil (ibuprofen)?

Accepted Answer

You don't: Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen are in different classes / families of medicines, so you can take them together if desired.

Question 7

is it safe to take advil (ibuprofen) cold and sinus and then 3 hours later take nyquil?

Accepted Answer

Yes: They are different meds with different effects. NyQuil is antihistamine + cough suppressant. Advil (ibuprofen) is NSAID anti-inflammatory + decongestant. You neglect to identify your symptoms. You might benefit from both, or you might do better with something else.

Question 8

can i take nyquil or advil (ibuprofen) pm occasionally while on bupropion to help me sleep?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It contains an antihistamine which is mildly sedating, and should not interact with the bupropion in usual doses.  You should, however, let your doctor know you are having problems with sleep (very common with bupropion) and that you are using the other products.

Question 9

i have a 102.1 fever with the flu. i was wondering whether it was safe to take nyquil severe & advil (ibuprofen)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Nyquil has Tylenol (acetaminophen).  Its safe to combine Tylenol (acetaminophen) and Advil, since its different class medications.

Question 10

hi, i had tonsillitis with flu symptoms last month, and now i have it again. i try to take nyquil and advil (ibuprofen). any idea what it the diagnosis could be?

Accepted Answer

Tonsillitis: For tonsillitis I would see a doctor as it may be strep a bacterial infection which can give flu like symptoms and will need antibiotics to treat.
