Question 1

will coricidin hbp work like sudafed if you are looking to open your sinuses?  will it increase heart rate?

Accepted Answer

Coricidin hbp: This formulation lacks the catecholamine vasoconstrictor that is found in sudafed. It is this agent which 'decongests' the sinuses. Coricidin hbp will help with the histamine reaction if the sinus congestion relates to that but won't be the same as sudafed and it shouldn't increae heart rate.

Question 2

will afrin (oxymetazoline) nose spray work as well as sudafed po with less risk of increased heart rate for opening up my sinuses and eustachian tubes?

Accepted Answer

Afrin (oxymetazoline): Is useful but you can only use for 3 days, otherwise you will develop rebound congestion. You can also try using a sinus rinse with a netti pot  or ask your doctor about a cortisone nasal spray. Take care!

Question 3

i took my vyvanse and forgot and took sudafed will this be ok?

Accepted Answer

: Your blood pressure may rise, potentially to dangerous levels.  If you feel well, and do not take any more sudafed,  you are likely fine.  If you are having headaches ,lightheadedness, changes in vision or other symptoms, consider seeing your doctor or an urgent care office for a basic examination

Question 4

can i take sudafed with advair and singulaire?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Sudafed can increase blood pressure and may preciptate a heart arrhythmia if you are prone. If your doctor says it is safe to take sudafed (pseudoephidrine) then you can take it with the meds you ask about.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

No: One of the ingredients in actifed is sudafed so you should not take both at the same time.  This can result in increase in side effects of the sudafed.

Question 6

can i take pepcid (famotidine) and sudafed together?

Accepted Answer

No known interaction: You should be safe especially if you have had no problem with either individually and follow directions. If you are still a bit worried and have a doctor, nurse or pharmacist you trust you can ask them too. But it should be fine. I hope you feel better soon.

Question 9

Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually.

Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 10
