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 are the differences in the effects of phenylephrine and pseudoephedrine on blood pressure?

Phenylephrine and pseudoephedrine are both decongestants that can raise blood pressure. However, phenylephrine has a more direct effect on blood vessels, leading to a quicker increase in blood pressure compared to pseudoephedrine. Pseudoephedrine also has a weaker effect on blood pressure and may be preferred for individuals with high blood pressure.

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.

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.
