Question 1

can i take decongestants with vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)?

Accepted Answer

Check w/Dr or Pharm: Many are not sensitive to decongestants in terms of BP elevation, but general (/SAFE) advice is to avoid, as can raise BP, and sometimes by a LOT. Nasal sprays / mists are usually helpful, and may be all that is needed--without as much risk of raising BP. Ask your Dr or Pharmacist for clarification.

Question 2

i take 50mg of vyvanse in the morning. is it okay for me to take a decongestant at night time for a cold?

Accepted Answer

: This is a hazardous combination as both can raise blood pressure and increase the heart rate. Instead of decongestants which contain symphathomimetic actions, take a plain antihistamine and carefully irrigate your nasal membranes with clean warm salt water.

Question 3

i took 20 mg vyvanse this morning and this evening took my klonopin 1 mg also 2 decongestant pills the little red ones is that ok?

Accepted Answer

: The amphetamine part of Vyvanse takes over 30 hours to clear your system. Assuming the red decongestant pill is Sudafed, if taken together with Vyvanse, it may increase adverse side effects associated with Vyvanse (such as high heart rate, blood pressure). There is no drug interaction with your Klonopin

Question 4

what kind of decongestant should i take?

Accepted Answer

Decongestant: If you do not have high blood pressure or other contraindications to decongestants, you can try phenylephrine contained in certain combination antihistamines, when necessary. Better yet, sterile saline spray or Cortaid nasal spray and I understand Flonase is OTC as well. Do not use Afrin or similar sprays for more than 3 days in a row to avoid rebound congestion, addiction, mucosal damage.

Question 5

can i take vyvanse with duphalac?

Accepted Answer

: According to Lexicomp, there appears to be no drug interaction risk between those two drugs. Please double check on the manufacturers labeling for both drugs

Question 6

can i take cold medication with 30 mg vyvanse?

Accepted Answer

: Many decongestant cold medications contain stimulants and shouldn't be combined with Vyvanse. You should check the ingredients and avoid any that contain ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or propanolamine. Antihistamines shouldn't be a problem.

Question 7

what kind of decongestant can a 3 year old take?

Accepted Answer

The AAP states...: The american academy of pediatrics has recently announced that under the age of 6 years old decongestants and cough medications have not been proven effective. Having said that, your pediatrician could more clearly advise you as to exactly what measures should be used if your 3 year old has a cold or allergy that is triggering the congestion in question. Most suggest nasal saline and mild suction.

Question 8

can i take coq-10 with vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)?

Accepted Answer

No study: No study has done  coq 10 good for muscle enzyme specially useful when you take with statin but there is no interaction if you want as supplement.

Question 9

can i take vyvanse and topical metronidazol todether?

Accepted Answer

Pharmacist: Vyvanse can interact with many medications but I didn't find metronidazole to be one. Your pharmacist can also answer this and other questions about your medications as he/she has access to much more information about these matters.

Question 10

my adult son takes 90 mg of vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)?

Accepted Answer

Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine): The question is, is it working correctly for him and not causing side effects.  If so then encourage him to live healthy lifestyle and follow up with his doctor, afterall that's what a good dad does.
