A member asked:
Taking a large dose of nyquil every night...can this be harmful or addicting? 21 year old male
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let me explain: While nyquil is safe when used as directed for the short-term, the prolonged use or abuse of nyquil can pose some serious health risks, including addiction. Some of the ingredients in nyquil can have long-term effects on the body if the medication is abused.
