Question 1

can i take nyquil with losartan?

Accepted Answer

Hypertension: Caution should be  used if the product contains phenylephrine, which is the nasal decongestant. This may elevate blood pressure.

Question 2

can you take losartan with nyquil?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but : which nyquil? at any rate nyquil preparations won't interact with losartan, however, if you are hypertensive or have coronary artery disease, you want to avoid preparations that contain decongestants as phenylephrine, which nyquil severe cold and flu has. Good that you asked, always exercise caution with multiple medications, good luck

Question 3

can nyquil/dayquil be taken if you take losartan 100mg? if not what recommendations for cold/flu day and night medicines do you have?

thank you!

Accepted Answer

Mixing medications: Either of them should be fine.    The dayquil contains a mild decongestant - phenylephrine which could potentially raise your blood pressure.    One version of the nyquil contains pseudoephedrine which should be avoided in people with high blood pressure but in the US that would be behind the counter.    I would say take whatever to help your symptoms and only for as long as you have symptoms.

Question 4

is it safe to take nyquil cold and flu with losartan 50 mg?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, you can take them together. Wish you a rapid recovery.

Question 5

could i take nyquil that expired march of 2013?

Accepted Answer

Recommend against: Expiration dates are used for reasons. I cannot predict it would cause harm or that it would not work, but the risk outweighs the benefit.  I would get non-expired nyquil.

Question 6

what kind of alcohol is nyquil?

Accepted Answer

Nyquil: Alcohol has 25% alcohol content. But nyquil is not considered an "alcohol".

Question 7

what are risks of  the drug losartan?

Accepted Answer

Risks are very minor: Can make blood pressure too low.  Can rarely cause cough or painless swelling of the face or upper airway (angioedema). Not a good drug to take if you are pregnant.

Question 8

please describe the medication: losartan?

Accepted Answer

Blood Pressure Med: A blood pressure reducing medicine from the class of drugs called arbs. Acts on an enzyme in the kidney and lung to reduce the blood pressure. Can have some protective effects on the kidneys in high blood pressure and diabetes. Not recommended for patients with significant kidney disease.

Question 9

is nyquil bad for the liver?

Accepted Answer

Not if dosed right: If taken as prescribed, it will not hurt your liver. If taken improperly (too much, for example) if definitely could. Nyquil contains Acetaminophen (tylenol) which can cause liver damage and even liver failure if overdosed.

Question 10

can losartan cause migraines?

Accepted Answer

Haven't heard of it: I prescribe a lot of Losartan, and I haven't had anyone (that I know of, anyway) who got migraines from it. However, medications are a common cause of headache.

When my pts think they might be having a side effect from a med, I tell them the only solution is to see what happens when they stop it. Talk to your doc.

Good Luck.
