How long does it take for nitequil to start working?

Answer 1

Nightime NyQuil usually works within 10 - 15 minutes for me. Take before going to bed. Do not use it during the day. Use DayQuil.

NyQuil, produced by the Vicks company, is the brand name of a family of cold medicine designed to help relieve many symptoms of the common cold. Because all of the medications within the NyQuil imprint contain sedating antihistamines and/or hypnotics, they are typically taken at night, just before bedtime. Its daytime counterpart is DayQuil, which does not contain sedating antihistamines and are not intended to induce drowsiness.

NyQuil comes in both liquid form and packaged in capsules (LiquiCaps).

Warnings and Contraindications
As with most OTC cold and allergy medications, there are populations for whom treatment with NyQuil is inappropriate.

NyQuil should not be taken with medications that contain other antihistamines or cough suppressants. People with certain other diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, glaucoma, asthma, chronic cough, excess mucus production, enlarged prostate, or high blood pressure should consult a physician or pharmacist to ensure that NyQuil will not interact negatively with their disease states.

Additionally, concurrent use of NyQuil with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or other drugs containing acetaminophen is contraindicated. Another concern with Nyquil of any formulation is that it contains acetaminophen (also known as Tylenol). It is essential to avoid excessive amounts of acetaminophen as this may cause damage to the liver.
