When taking Tylenol (acetaminophen) and NyQuil, it’s generally recommended to wait at least 4 hours between doses. Tylenol is typically taken for pain relief or fever reduction, while NyQuil contains several active ingredients to treat cold and flu symptoms, including acetaminophen. Since both medications may contain acetaminophen, taking them too close together can lead to an overdose, potentially harming your liver. Always follow the dosing instructions on the labels or as directed by your healthcare provider to avoid excessive acetaminophen intake. If in doubt, it’s best to consult with a doctor or pharmacist.
