Both are Nasal Decongestants It is NOT advisable to take them together. Most people would be taking these medications for 'cold-like' symptoms. In which plenty of sleep is recommended. When these two medications are taken at the same time they can also cause insomnia and anxiety. Combined they can also cause an increase in your pulse as well as your blood pressure.

What is the difference between Benadryl and pseudoephedrine?
Benadryl (at least, the box I have) contains three different medicines - one of which is phenylephrine, which is often used instead of pseudoephedrine (pseudoephedrine has gained a bad rep as a precurser to methamphetamine). There is some question about the effectiveness of phenylephrine, though studies have shown it performs much better than a placebo, even if it's not as effective as pseudoephedrine.
Is phenylephrine an antihistamine?
No, Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant, not an antihistamine. While antihistamines reduce the bodies ability to release histamines, decongestants cause the narrowing of the blood vessels in the nasal passages.
What is the difference between Sudafed and Sudafed pe?
The difference between Sudafed and Sudafed PE is that Sudafed contains pseudoephedrine and Sudafed PE contains phenylephrine. While phenylephrine doesn't work quite as well as a decongestant, it is the most common decongestant ingredient in cold and sinus formulations, due to the fact that people were using pseudoephedrine to make the illegal drug methamphetamine.

What is the difference between mucinex and mucinex d?
Mucinex PE has Phenylephrine in it and Mucinex D has Pseudoephedrine. They are both decongestants but Pseudoephedrine is also the main ingredient in making Methamphetamine. In an effort to stop Methamphetamine production, the federal law requires that all nonprescription medications containing Pseudoephedrine be taken off drugstore shelves and kept behind the counter in the pharmacy. To purchase these medications, you have to go to the pharmacy and ask for it. You must also show some form of government-issued identification and sign a logbook.

Can you mix aceaminophen and pseudoephedrine to stop a runny nose?
Pseudoephedrine is for stuffy nose not runny nose. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is for runny nose. Both can be taken with acetaminophen. You can check this by looking at the medicinal ingredients of various over-the-counter cold medications.
Can you take ibuprofen with phenylephrine HCl?
The combination of ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and phenylephrine hydrochloride (a common decongestant in nasal sprays and cold medicines such as Sudafed) has no indicated drug interaction.* However, if you have never taken either, or take other medications, you should consult a medical professional about dosages, side effects, or possible interactions with other prescription or over-the-counter medications.* The drug ibuprofen is used in combinations with drugs such as chlorpheniramine maleate and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, as in Advil Allergy Sinus. There is a risk of interaction with the pseudoephedrine HCl in such products, so mixing decongestants (sprays and/or oral) should not be done without a doctor's approval.
