Pharmacy - compatability of drugs


Expert: Dr Alan Galbraith - 3/16/2009

Question
Take propananol and digoxin regularly.  Have cold.  Can I also take dayquil and nyquil?dtji7  Live in us.

Answer
Dear Marlene

Digoxin is a problematic drug when it comes to drug interactions and should only be used under medical supervision with other drugs which contain decongestants. Dayquil does contain one but Nyquil does not so the latter should be OK. There should be no problems with the propranolol.

Regards

Dr Alan Galbraith
