You guys shouldn't give advice if you dont lnow what you're talking about. You can mix nyquil with tylenol but the reason the nyquil bottle says you can't is because most people don't know what the daily max of acetaminophen is, it's 4000. Exceeding more than 4000 mg of acetaminophen can be harmful, cause liver damage and ecen be fafal. In order for you to consume 4000mg of acetaminophen you would have to take at least 20 tylenol plus the nyquil. All you have to do is read your tylenol bottle and see how much acetaminophen it contains and then do the same thing for the nyquil. You can mix the two as long as you don't go over 4000mg within one day, which you wont.

Did u read my post??? It can't kill u! The only reason they say don't mix the two is because they both contain acetaminophen and if you exceed the 4000mg maximum daily dose it can cause liver damage and possible be fatal. It is 325mg of acetaminophen in one tylenol pill and 650mg of acetaminophen in one dose of nyquil. So u do the math! U would have to drink a whole bottle of nyquil or take a whole lot of tylenol to even come close to 4000mg in one day. Just add it up!

People are confusing ibuprofen with Tylenol. Tylenol has ibuprofen in it, but just a bottle of ibuprofen has no Acetaminophen in it. The problem is mixing NyQuil with another product containing acetaminophen. If your ibuprofen bottle does not say it contains acetaminophen then its ok to mix the two and actually helps a lot when you have a cold because the NyQuil and ibuprofen will help different symptoms.

I know this because I just got over having a horrible flu and mixed ibuprofen and NyQuil multiple times. I'm fine. Tylenol contains acetaminophen so that's why Tylenol is bad with NyQuil.

I thought I'd clear this up for anyone since there's so much misinformation. Here's how this breaks down.Nyquil has acetaminophen in it.Tylenol is the brand name for acetaminophen and does not contain ibuprofen.Ibuprofen is a drug, not a brand name. It's an anti-inflammatory.Taking an ibuprofen with a dose of Nyquil won't kill you, but should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.Taking acetaminophen with Nyquil is an extremely bad idea resulting in taking too much acetaminophen which should be avoided.

Good luck everyone!

I took expired prescription 800mg Ibuprofen from 2 years ago and a generic form of Nyquil. I had a horrible cough and headache. In the middle of the night, I also took generic Nyquil (possibly a different brand). I had CVS and Kroger by my bed and not certain if same brand or not that I took in the middle of the night. I know it was stupid, but sick. I was very sick to the point where I do not remember much of what I did that day. I ended up emailing nasty messages via my work iPhone to Management that I do not recall or vaguely recall and do not really know why. It affected the brain many things distorted and incidents out of context. I broke out in sweats. I then was under investigation at work for the emails. I believe it was a drug interaction. It makes me wonder if I took tylenol too reading the post above. All I know is I was sick and wanted to get well and got way worse. I was out of work for a week with some sort of drug poisoning, I believe. It scared me and I didn't realize at the time what had happened. I thought I had a mental breakdown, but it was the drugs. NEVER mix drugs of any sort and NEVER take expired drugs! It does affect your body and brain. Trust me!
