Alka Seltzer Plus

Can you take alka. Seltzer pm with hyxroxyzine. And labatole ## The Alka Seltzer Cold PM contains Phenylephrine as one of the active ingredients and it can cause lessened efficacy of the Labetalol, which could result in elevated blood pressure and heart rate. Learn more Phenylephrine details here. Generally, systemic antihistamines should be avoided by anyone that has a heart condition and/or high blood pressure. In most cases, however, you can use them in other forms, such as a nasal spray, unless your doctor has told you not to do so. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I need to know the first year that Alka Seltzer Plus for colds was marketed,

Can You Take Alka Seltzer Plus if you are on Antibiotics? Please let me know. LomQ ## First, let's assume that you're talking about the Alka-Seltzer formulation with the most ingredients in it.

Can I take two Alka-Seltzer Plus Day and Night non-drowsy cold and plus formula liquid gels after they have expired? ## Hello, Ms Shay! How are you? If they are expired, you should dispose of them. Liquid medications tend to degrade and turn much faster than other forms, so not only do they lose effectiveness, but they could sour and make you ill, if you take them. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation.

Can benedryl, Tylenol and acetaminophen be taken in a 24 hour period? ## Can you mix alka seltzer plus night and benadryl? ## Tylenol contains the active ingredient Acetaminophen, so you do have to be careful with it. You should not take more than 1,000mgs of it in any 8 hour period, and you should not exceed 3.000mgs in 24 hours, due the risk of overdose toxicity, according to FDA reports. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, and headache. Samantha, they have several nighttime formulations. Can you please post back with the specific ingredients in the one that you want to take?

Found this in my drive way, the ground was wet, not 100% sure of the last 2 letters on the pill: co or cc. The soft gel pill was emptied of its contents, what was left behind looked like sugar particles. There was no smell to the pill. ## Hello, Summer! How are you? I believe that markings are supposed to be ASP CC and it is Alka Seltzer Plus Cough & Cold liquid gel. They contain Acetaminophen, Chlorpheniramine, Dextromethorphan and Phenylephrine to treat cold symptoms. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and headache. Is there anything else I can help with? ## It actually says as+cc not asp. I found one too and I can't figure out what it us

I spoke with a pharmacist at Walgreen's. He suggested a Walgreen's brand. It is called Wal*Finate-D. It is a antihistamine/nasal decongestant. I took one an hour ago and it has dried up my nose and the sneezing has stopped. It is not available on the store shelf, you have to get it at the pharmacy. I have been suffering for two years since Drixoral was taken off the shelf. Benedryl did not work nor Alka-Seltzer cold plus. But Wal*Finate-D is amazing and was only around $6.00 for 48 tablets. It does make you a little drowsy but it got the job done for me. ## Thank you for posting this, there have been many people looking for a viable substitute, since the loss of sales caused them to stop manufacturing Drixoral. Is there any chance you can post back with more information on the i...

Hi. I'm looking to identify a dark red sort of maroon purple gel capsule...says "as+ cc" on it in white letters. I found it in the bathroom garbage popped open at one end.

He is his own problem at 31 years old, but I'm curious... Thanks. ## May have been Accutane.
