: As long as you are not going over 1000mg of acetaminophen (tylenol) every 6hr, then you are ok to take the nyquil now. All of these cold/cough medicines usually come with a bit of acetaminophen (tylenol). So you want to make sure that you are not inadvertently going overboard with the acetaminophen which can have negative effects on the liver.
