Can You Take Nyquil With Claritin
Can I take Nyquil on time after taking Claritin in a day? 3
If you take Claritin in the morning, you should be able to take NyQuil in time. NyQuil has so many different formulations that it can be difficult to identify a specific interaction if you don't know what you're looking at. Products such as NyQuil Cold and Grippe Relief, NyQuil Cough and NyQuil Sinus contain an ingredient called doxylamine, which is an H1 receptor blocker like Claritin. Concomitant use of both drugs is not recommended, but 12 hour intervals should be acceptable. There is a risk of excessive drowsiness, so be careful while driving or doing other things for which you need to be careful until you know the effects of taking these medicines together.
If you want to treat a specific symptom, it is better to choose a partial product instead of a combined product like NyQuil to reduce the chances of interaction. Ask your pharmacist to help you choose a medication that will help you with your specific symptoms.
