Question 1

can i take sudafed while i'm in methadone?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You may safely take it.

Question 2

sudafed and methadone, okay to take together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Sudafed and Methadone should be O.K. To take together, even though one is a mild upper and the other is a downer. Sudafed is a mild stimulant that acts as a decongestant and vasoconstrictor of blood vessels. Methadone works primarily by binding to opiate receptors in the brain. This reply is based on the assumption that sudafed is not transformed into an illicit drug by some buyers.

Question 3

is it ok to take methadone with sudafed pe if not what can i take for stuffy nose?

Accepted Answer

It may cause false +: test for amphetamine if you are being drug tested on a regular basis.  Unfortunately, pretty much every available decongestant has a similar molecular structure to amphetamine. Definitive tests will show that it is not a true positive.  If the stuffy nose is chronic it is probably allergic in nature, and nasal steroids, which are now OTC, will help more. Stop or cut down smoking if you smoke.

Question 4

Copd: Avoidance of any type of narcotic therapy is typically advised in patients with copd.

Question 7

can i take sudafed pe with meclizine?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

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 9

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!
