Yes, likely.: Unike the weight loss drug,s Qysmia or Adipex, Contrave does not contain the stimulant phenterimine, which can interact with phenylephrine (the decongestant in Tylenol (acetaminophen) Cold), so it should be safe to use, provided you do not have uncontrolled hypertension, coronary artery disease, or urinary retention. Take Care!

Yes it is: You can safely take Contrave and Tylenol Cold together. Tylenol Cold contains 4 active ingredients: acetaminophen (pain/fever reliever), dextromethorphan (cough suppressant), phenylephrine (decongestant), and doxylamine (antihistamine), and none of these ingredients has a significant interaction with Contrave.
