Safe To Take Zarbee's With Sudafed?

Answer

Thanks for your question!

There is no known drug interaction between Zarbee's product and Sudafed (pseudoephedrine). You can feel safe taking them together (or in this case, giving them both to your child).

Now, there are several different Zarbee's products on the market (e.g. Zarbee's Cough, Zarbee's Immune, etc...),  but none of them contain ingredients we would expect to have any sort of drug interaction with Sudafed.

Ingredients In Zarbee's Cough Syrup

You specifically mentioned Zarbee's Cough syrup in your question. It contains the following ingredients:

• Dark honey
• Grapefruit seed extract
• Citric acid
• Ascorbic acid
• Water
• Natural flavors
• Zinc gluconate

None of the above ingredients interact with Sudafed.

Most Zarbee's products contain similar ingredients, with one or two variations. Zarbee's Cough Syrup + Mucus, for example, adds in English ivy leaf extract, and marshmallow root extract. Both of these ingredients are safe with Sudafed as well.

Sudafed Information

Pseudoephedrine is used to relieve nasal congestion caused by colds, allergies, and hay fever. It is also used to temporarily relieve sinus congestion and pressure. It will relieve symptoms but will not treat the cause of the symptoms or speed recovery.

Pseudoephedrine is in a class of medications called nasal decongestants. It works by causing the narrowing of the blood vessels in the nasal passages.
