Question 1

Accepted Answer

What decongestant?: Nyquil contains Dextromethorphan,Acetamnophen and Doxylamine(A first generation sedating antihistamine)and NyquilD contains Sudafed a decongestant
You can take Nyquil plain without D,with 24 hour Decongestant.Make sure it is Nyquil plain and your 24 hour decongestant did not have antihistamine

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Yes: If these are safe for you by themselves, then they are safe in combo.

Question 3

can i take sudafed and nyquil together? since the nyquil doesn't have a decongestant i think it would be ok

Accepted Answer

Careful: Some of this decongestant otc meds have alcohol as a component. I usually recommend delsym (dextromethorphan) and clarinex.

Question 4

qlear quil nasal decongestant and nyquil ok to take together? ?

Accepted Answer

No interactions: You can take these two medications together as there aren't any clear contraindications.

Question 5

is it ok to take nyquil, a decongestant and naproxen together?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Different forms of nyquil have different ingredients. If it contains Acetaminophen for pain or fever, you may not need to also take naproxen.

Question 6

can i take a nasal decongestant and nyquil cold and flu together?

Accepted Answer

Yes just limit: Yes, it also depends on the nasal decongestant. Just dont do it for more than 3 days.

Question 7

can you take a nasal spray decongestant with nyquil?

Accepted Answer

: A nasal spray like Afrin and Nyquil together could potentially ramp up your sympathetic nervous system. In other words, blood pressure and heart rate can increase. Try to use the drug with the least amount of ingredients that target the worse symptoms, such as Afrin for runny nose or nasal congestion. (Nyquil often is a combination of 3 drugs).

Question 8

can i take sudafed (pseudo ephedrine only), mucinex (guaifenesin) (expectorant and decongestant), and nyquil all at once?

Accepted Answer

Probably ok: Sudafed and Mucinex (guaifenesin) certainly can be taken together and adding nyquil at bedtime is probably not harmful. Your pharmacist who knows all the ingredients and actions of these medications is very qualified to advise you,however.

Question 9

can one take mucinex (guaifenesin) (expectorant only) and sudafed decongestant (30mg) in day and nyquil before bed? is it safe..or should one be eliminated

Accepted Answer

Ok: These combinations taken as you are doing should, be ok.

Question 10

i took 2 nyquil right before bed and after laying in bed i feel like my stuffy nose is getting worse. i have some dayquil  sever cold and flu with nasal decongestant, can i take one or two of those now to help break up the mucus a little or is that too mu

Accepted Answer

And: Stop all this over the counter. Causes some side effects like increase in bp. Now try very hot fluids to open up the sinus rest give this a few days if you get worse see your doctor. Takes several weeks to resolve. Most often viral.
