NyQuil Products With Doxycycline

All NyQuil products contain a combination of medications. For example, 'original' NyQuil contains:

• Acetaminophen
• Dextromethorphan
• Doxylamine

Acetaminophen is an analgesic and fever reducer. It is the active ingredient in 'Tylenol'.

Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant and helps to reduce the frequency and severity of coughing.

Doxylamine is a sedating antihistamine, similar to Benadryl (diphenhydramine). It can help to dry up mucus and post-nasal drip, while also helping you sleep due to its sedative effect.

A similar product, NyQuil 'Severe' adds on the nasal decongestant phenylephrine.

As mentioned, there are no known interactions between NyQuil products and doxycycline. In fact, NyQuil is safe to take with most antibiotics.
