Can DayQuil And NyQuil Be Taken After A Gap Of 4 Hours?
Brief Answer:
yes, can be used, most dayquil types used after 4 hours
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thank for using healthcare magic
There are different types of dayquil- dayquil cough, dayquil cold and flu, dayquil severe cold and flu , dayquil mucus control dm, dayquil sinex.
They contain a different combination of ingredients.
Dayquil cough is used every 6 hours but the other types can be used every 4 hours, this means that since 3:30 hours would have passed from 4:30 to 8, it would essentially be safe for him to use the nyquil.
Nyquil contains similar ingredients to dayquil, the difference being doxylamine.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
