Is there a drug interaction between NyQuil and cyclobenzaprene?

Cyclobenzaprene, the generic form of Flexeril, which is a skeletal muscle relaxant, can increase the effects of certain nasal decongestants. I don't know which ones are in Nyquil, (you can read the label to see which ones are in it), but the nasal decongestants that it can increase the effects of are: naphazoline, oxymetazoline, phenylephrine, and xylometazoline.


Can you take phenylephrine and oxymetazoline at the same time?

No. As long as they act on the same receptors, it shouldn't be used together. Use one or another at the highest dose and see if it works well. You can use saline water or corticoid nasal spray if you need more efficiency.


Will oxymetazoline hci show up in a drug test?

That's a nasal decongestant, Why would you be worried about afrin showing up in a drug test? Or are you just asking? Cause the answer is no. They don't test for afrin or any other over the counter drug when drug testing people. Unless they are looking for it, but I'm not sure why they would be hah :P


How avoid nose block at night?

There are nasal solutions available which can help drain out the secretions and open the nostrils for easy breathing. The one which I use sometimes is Naseline which has Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride and benzalkonium chloride. The cellular membrane bilayers around the nose get disassociated due to benzalkonium chloride, which also has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. Its effects are almost immediate. = =
