Brief Answer:
It is safe to take them together if for a short time.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this sever cough. I have reviewed your medications. They can be taken together. The only fear is that NyQuil might reduce the effectiveness of aricept if both are taken for long periods. If they would be taken together just for a short while, there is no reason to be concerned.

Beside this lone possible interaction which warrants that you take these medications together only for a short time, there is no added fears as concerns adding NyQuil to your ongoing treatment.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
