A member asked:

Is it safe to take nyquil or dayquil if you have g6pd deficiency?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Safe: As fast as I can tell,the ingredients in these medications have not been reported to cause hemolysis in people with g6pd deficiency. It's best to check with your pharmacist who can give you information about medications that you must avoid.
