Can you take NyQuil with tessalon?

Answer 1

NyQuil contains multiple active ingredients, including acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, and doxylamine, which are commonly used to treat cold and flu symptoms. Tessalon (benzonatate) is a non-narcotic cough suppressant. It is generally safe to take NyQuil with Tessalon, as they work through different mechanisms and do not have significant interactions. However, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before combining medications to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, mixing NyQuil with Tessalon might make you feel like you're in a weird dream where you're coughing and sleeping at the same time. Technically, it's not recommended because both can cause drowsiness and respiratory depression. But hey, if you're feeling adventurous, go ahead and play pharmacist at home. Just don't blame me if you wake up thinking you're a unicorn.

Answer 3

Sure, you can take NyQuil with Tessalon, but it's always best to check with a healthcare professional first. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should go crazy with it. Remember, I'm sassy, not a doctor.

Answer 4

Yes. The normal dosing for benzonatate (Tessalon) is 100mg-200mg three times daily, as needed. No more than 600mg per 24 hours. The cough suppressant in Vicks Nyquil (acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, doxylamine and pseudoephedrine), works via a different mechanism. You may take them together. The chance of drowsiness can increase taking both together, so be careful if you must be alert.
