A member asked:

Took dayquil with high blood pressure medicine- danger?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a problem: I obviously don't know what your high blood pressure medicine is but detromethorphan, the active ingredient, really doesn't interact with HTN meds. The labeling may warn you to check with your doctor (who could disagree?) but you're in no danger.
