They hopefully only use it for the approved uses on the label: for cough and cold symptoms. To use any over the counter medicine for uses or in ways not described on the label directions is a very dangerous practice and can cause serious health problems and sometimes even death. Talk to a Pharmacist when you purchase medications like Nyquil to be sure that it will be safe and effective for your needs. They can direct you to a more safe or more effective medicine for your symptoms if Nyquil, or whatever medicine you are purchasing, is not the best choice for that.

There is some alcohol in Nyquil, and some alcoholics have been known to desperately drink cough medicines for the little bit of alcohol they contain. And, sadly, some have died from getting too much of the other ingredients in the medicine at the same time which can cause organ damage or other overdose complications.

Always follow the label directions and do not listen to anyone other than a Doctor Who gives advice that is different from those directions.

Yes, it won't hurt you. It may cause an increase in drowsiness. Don't drink alcohol or drive on this combination.


Can you take NyQuil on heroin?

Yes you can. Should you? That's the real question. From personal experience I can tell you a normal two tablespoon dosage of NyQuil does not react negatively in the body with your average dope high. However, NyQuil is a narcotic and should be treated as such. Large doses of either the heroin or NyQuil or both in combination are dangerous so use extreme caution when self medicating. In other words if you're really high on dope wait until you come down to drink any NyQuil and if you've taken a lot of NyQuil don't do any dope. Mixing depressants is always a gamble.
