See more detailed risks and warnings Mar 24, 2019 Can you tell me what is the difference between Mucinex and NyQuil? Which one would be better for me? AnswerMucinex and NyQuil are over the counter products that are used to treat symptoms of the cold and flu. However, they contain different active ingredients. In the next sections, I
discuss NyQuil and Mucinex in more detail. NyQuil is a combination ingredient medication intended to help ease the symptoms of a cold or flu and to help you fall asleep. The sedating ingredient in NyQuil is doxylamine, a sedating antihistamine similar to Benadryl (diphenhydramine). Aside from doxylamine, the other ingredients in NyQuil are acetaminophen (an analgesic) and dextromethorphan (a cough suppressant). The NyQuil Severe formula also contains phenylephrine, a nasal decongestant. NyQuil is a fast-acting medication, and you should feel like effects within 15 to 30 minutes after taking a dose by mouth. Each dose lasts four to six hours. Mucinex contains guaifenesin, an expectorant. It helps to thin and loosen mucus secretions, making them easier to expectorate (cough or spit out). It is commonly referred to as a 'chest decongestant', and can also help reduce post-nasal drip. Mucinex is a brand name product, and there are a number of 'Mucinex brand' products that contain additional ingredients. For example, Mucinex Fast-Max Severe Congestion & Cough contains:
If you are simply looking for an expectorant, stick with the original Mucinex product. NyQuil Vs. MucinexAs discussed in the above sections, NyQuil and Mucinex are both brand name products that are used to treat symptoms of the cold or flu. The active ingredient in Mucinex is guaifenesin while NyQuil is a combination ingredient product, containing acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, and doxylamine (NyQuil Severe also contains guaifenesin). Which product you choose should be based on your symptoms. If you are only experiencing chest congestion, Mucinex is likely the product for you. If you have a broader range of symptoms, such as a fever, cough and nasal congestion, NyQuil would be preferred (as long as you only take it at bedtime since it will make you drowsy).
What happens if you take Mucinex and Nyquil together?The symptoms they treat are different. You can take Mucinex and NyQuil together safely if you follow the recommended dosage for each drug. However, taking Mucinex at night with NyQuil might actually keep you from falling asleep. Mucinex will loosen your mucus, which can cause you to wake up to cough.
