Hello, my nose is a little blocked today, and I usually use Robitussin, the one with Guafenessin, to help with that. The problem is that I am taking Tylenol 3 with Codeine right now before I go to bed (at about 10:15 AM), and I do notknow if it'll be OK to take both of them, albeit a few hours apart from each other. Do you know?
Answer:
Robitussin plain contains an expectorant. Robitussin CF contains an expectorant, anti-tussive, and decongestant.
If your nose is blocked, then you need a decongestant. An expectorant will not do anything for nasal congestion. Sudafed-PE is a decongestant you can buy over the counter. Sudafed is a stronger decongestant that you can buy at a pharmacy counter only.
Tylenol #3 has acetaminophen and codeine in it. It is not related to any decongestant. Therefore you can take them both together. However, decongestants tends to perk you up. Therefore it may keep you from falling asleep.
