Question 1

can you take dayquil when you are pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Talk with OB but no: Dayquil contains acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, pseudoephedrine. Acetaminophen (tylenol) is ok but the other two are class c which most OB do not allow. Use nasal saline.
Class c: studies on animals show adverse effect and toxicity on fetus. No adequate and well controlled studies done on pregnant women. Drugs should be given only if potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.

Question 2

is nyquil and dayquil safe to take while 9weeks 5days pregnant??

Accepted Answer

No, read the label: No it is not. If you read the label there is a huge amount of alcohol in those products not conducive to your fetus and pregnancy. I have often wondered why there is no tax label on Nyquil which could easily be sold in liquor stores with a "proof rating".

Question 7

Question 9

how long after taking dayquil, can i take adderall?

Accepted Answer

Interactions: See if the DayQuil ( there are multiple formulations)has pseudoephederine or a decongestant in it. If so,they shouldn't be taken together.

Question 10

can i take dayquil while on abilify (aripiprazole)?

Accepted Answer

Potential side eff.: After a number of resources were checked a drug to drug interaction though it has not been extensively studied or characterized.  But abilify (aripiprazole) seems to increase sedative effects in the presence of DayQuil ingredients while Day Quil ingredients seem to reduce sedative effects.  Bottom line: POTENTIAL INTERACTION and it could be significant but no hard proof available. I'd suggest caution using combo
