Are There Any Drug Interactions Between Nyquil, Sudafed And Ibuprofen?

I have a friend who is a recovering addict she is currently sick with a cold for about 2 weeks now..and if she is telling the truth she is mixing nyquil, sudafed and ibropen--sleeping all time. I am wondering if the combination is really bad together

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The nyquil and sudafed should not be used together because they both contain agents that can cause drowsiness and dizziness.
She should use one or the other.

There are also non drowsy cough and cold meds that can be used.

I hope this helps
