Pseudoephedrine and Phenylephrine (Sudafed)

Pseudoephedrine is a stimulant medication used to treat the symptoms of the common cold, sinusitis and nasal congestion. While pseudoephedrine appears in small doses in many popular, over-the-counter decongestants, the product is heavily regulated. Pseudoephedrine's chemical structure is very similar to that of amphetamine, making it a key component in some illegal drugs. Due to the tight regulations, Phenylephrine is often sold as an over the counter substitute.

Can you take Sudafed with cataflam and robaxin?

Now you are starting to mix a bit much into your cocktail. I usually recommend that you not mix over the counter medicines with prescriptions unless you check with your doctor. Over the counter medicines still have side effects, and some can be quite severe if you mix them or take too many. Sudafed makes you very nervous and jittery. You are already having muscle cramps and pain. Save the Sudafed until you feel better. Try a saline nasal spray if you are having runny nose - that would be safe with your other drugs.

Can you take Claritin with Sudafed?

Since Claritin-D contains both loratadine and pseudoephedrine combined then common sense tells you that you can take both regular Claritin and Sudafed together with no dangerous interactions (but not Claritin-D as you would be then exceeding the recommended dose of pseudoephedrine).

Or you can simply buy Claritin-D and save a few bucks.

What could be wrong if you've had pain and pressure by your temples nose and eyes for 5 days but do not have a cold or stuffy nose and have taken Advil Tylenol and Sudafed but nothing helps?

It sounds like you have sinus congestion (sinus blockages). When your sinuses are blocked they create pressure in your head and facial regions. this pressure can also result in headaches and pain in your temple region. in some instances it may even cause you to feel dizzy and get blurry vision. I would suggest that you try sinuswars7 for congestion or maybe even a netipot. These products hlp decongest sinuses

Can you take Sudafed with piriteze?

Piriteze (Cetirizine) and Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) is a combination of an antihistamine and a decongestant used to treat the symptoms of seasonal or yearly allergies. Antihistamines work by preventing the effects of a substance called histamine, which is produced by the body. Histamine can cause itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. Decongestants produce a narrowing of blood vessels. This leads to clearing of nasal congestion, but it may also cause an increase in blood pressure in patients who have high blood pressure. Hope this helps.

What does sudafed do?

It does many things, in order to achieve the goal of nasal decongestion. It acts by enhancing norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline) or adrenergic activity by stimulating the α-adrenergic receptors. This induces vasoconstriction of the blood vessels in the nose, throat, and paranasal sinuses, which results in reduced inflammation (swelling) and mucus formation in these areas.

Basically it temporarily constricts blood vessels to allow for more "breathing room" so to speak in your nose and throat.

Does Sudafed make you test positive for amphetamines?

yes it can produce false positive results. this occurs with tests that use antibodies that screen for amphetamines. sudafed contains pseudoephedrine that is similar in structure to amphetamines and therefore causes cross-reactivity with the antibodies directed against amphetamines.

if a test is being done in a legal manner; e.g. a workplace drug screen, the initial immunoassay needs to be followed up with a more precise assay - usually GC-MS. This assay will be able to differentiate between sudafed and amphetamines

Can Sudafed make a positive drug screen for cocaine?

cocaine is an opiate... sudaphed can produce positive results for amphetamines


(cocaine is NOT an opiate (it is derived from the coca plant not opium), but I do believe sudafed would only produce a false positive for amphetamines)

How phenylephrine effects cardiac rate?

Phenylephrine is an alpha agonist, which produces peripheral arteriolar constriction, thereby increasing afterload and causing reflex bradycardia in most cases.

Can you take Sudafed and a goody powder?

You can take them together, but prepared to be really nervous and jittery. Goody's Powders contain caffeine, acetaminophen, and aspirin. Taking Sudafed on top of caffeine is going to make you really jumpy. You probably won't sleep well.

If you have any serious conditions like high blood pressure, heart problems, or anxiety disorder, you should never take Sudafed and you should avoid caffeine.

Can you drink alcohol with pseudoephedrine?

yes. i do it all the time.

Edit: Keep in mind pseudoephedrine is often packaged with ibuprofen or some other pain reliever which can be dangerous to mix with alcohol, though to my knowledge the psuedoephedrine doesn't have a strong negative interaction with alcohol, especially at the extremely low dosages you usually take it in.

If you took a home test and it tested positive for cocaine and i didnt use and i send to lab is there a chance the result will be different?

At the risk of violating federal medical privacy laws, are you on antibiotics? Most of them--especially ones with "cillin" in their names--will cause a false positive for cocaine. Also, strangely enough, tonic water--which contains quinine--will cause a false positive for cocaine, and Sudafed has been known to.

A GC/MS system will be able to determine whether the drug you're on is amoxicillin, Sudafed, gin & tonic, or cocaine.
