What happens when you take Advil and Dayquil at the same time?

Answer 1

Nothing will happen seeing as the new Dayquil contains acetaminophen and Advil contains ibuprofen, which are two diffrerent pain relievers. The Advil is more a physical reliever, helps the aches, while the Dayquil, acetaminophen, works in the brain not peripherally. Just don't take too much. Listen and follow to the prescribed dosages and if uncomfortable take less then advised. In fact many doctors will prescribe both at the same time just at different hourly intervals i.e acetaminophen every 4-6 and ibuprofen every 6-8.

Answer 2

It's probably OK but why are you checking this site for medical advice? The previous answer was flat out wrong and even dangerous. Never under any circumstances combine acetaminophen(Tylenol and others) with Dayquil or Nyquil.

Ibuprofen is probably fine but, really, go check a real medical site.

I agree that you should be checking a medical site but the above answer is very misleading. Acetaminophen IS the active fever reducer in Dayquil so taking a product like Tylenol with Dayquil could lead to overdose of the acetaminophen but not a bad drug interaction.

Answer 3

No, each adult dose of DayQuil already contains 650 mg of acetaminophen. Taking more acetaminophen in addition to this could result in toxicity.

It says directly on the package warnings not to take with any other medications that contain acetaminophen.
