A member asked:

Can i take vicks dayquil severe cold and flu + congestion at 7:30 pm if i took sudafed 12 hour at 1:00 pm?

Specializes in Pediatrics

That would not be wise, since both medications contain the same decongestant and could result in side effects. Wait the full 12 hours for the effects of the sudafed 12 hour to wear off.
