Is it okay to take Advil and Nyquil together?!


Question: Is it okay to take Advil and Nyquil together!?
I'm sick and in pain!. I took the Nyquil about 3 hours ago, and that's doing all right with the sick part, but isn't doing a damned thing for the pain!. Am I okay to take a couple of Advil and try to get some sleep, or should I use Tylenol, or what!?

Thanks for your help:)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hello there,

Generally speaking, taking Advil ( which contains pain reliever -ibuprofen ) would not interfere with the effect of Nyquil ( which is a cold medicine ) !. However , depends on what type of Nyquil you are taking!. If it is the Nyquil that concentrates on treating coughing only , it likely does not contain acetaminophen!. As Nyquil is created to cure conciousness , lol almost all of them types would contain succinate ( an antihistamine , hypnotic ) for nasal congestion and acetaminophen!. Tylenol contains acetaminophen ( or paracetamol ) which would be a little harsh on your liver if taken in conjunction with nyquil !. The general rule of application of acetaminophen is 4 grams/ day or about 60 milligrams per kilo body per 24 hours!. Overdose of paracetamol could lead to acute liver failure!.

Advil is a new type of drugs that contain ibuprofen which is considered more modern and better ( for now ) than paracetamol and aspirin alone and it has widely used to replace those two!.

I would recommend use to use a stronger type of ibuprofen which contains codeine 4 which is a very strong pain reliever and available over the counter and try to get some sleep naturally!. But mixing both of them together I would not suggest!. Consult a GP first , or just go to the chemist ( pharmacy ) and ask them if it is wise to use both!. Tylenol already contains some pain reliever in it which is acetaminophen, but ibuprofen is more effective in pain relieving!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
