Question : I take both Tamsulosin and Finasteride for prostrate issues. I have a severe head cold and would like to take something like NyQuil at night for cold relief. Is this medicine OK with the above prescriptions?

Brief Answer:
Hello and thanks for the query.

Detailed Answer:
With finasteride and tamsulosin it would be safe to take NyQuil night formulation for symptomatic relief.

There should be no direct or immediate interaction with your medications. I would recommend you take the NyQuil for no longer than 2-3 days overall and hopefully you will feel progressively better.

Thanks again for sending the query.

Sincerely,

Dr Galamaga
