A member asked:
My son is on vyvanse and has a cold; stuffy nose, nasal pressure and drainage, headache and cough; what otc is safe to give to him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vyvanse: I would avoid medications containing sudafed or pseudoephedrine as in conjunction it can cause increased heart rate and blood pressure. Most over the counter sinus medications do contain phenylephrine or sudafed. He can take regular robitussin or guaifenesin cough syrup. Sinus rinses are natural and work well for sinus congestion and mucous. Tylenol or ibuprofen are fine to take for the headache.
