Can Nyquil Be Taken While On Blood Pressure Medication?
Yes. My husband is on a medication for high blood pressure. he takes by stolid tabs 5mg once a day in the evening. He has not taken one today. He had early symptoms of a cold yesterday, he took OTC NyQuil at 8:pm and again at 1:00 a.m.. He woke up with symptoms of cough, stuffed up head, chest congestion,c/o feeling dizzy and weakness. Should he not take the NyQuil? Email address is YYYY@YYYY
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No, Nyquil and high blood pressure does not go together so you can take Nyquil without any problem. This medication does not increase the blood pressure. Only if your husband is taking beta-blockers for blood pressure this medication should be avoided because of interaction between the two medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
