I have been having a hard time sleeping at night with this lung infection I have. I am currently on 30 mg of pred per day (15am, 15pm) and am doing inhaled tobi twice a day.

I am wondering if anyone knows if it is ok to take Nyquil before I go to bed so I can manage to get a good nights sleep?

Thanks!

I think it is pretty much ok to take something like that but you just do not want to take it alot cause it dries you up which is not good for our lungs. I have taken night time sleep aides over the counter before and I have even taken a RX one in the hospital when I was getting IV's which is totally potent drugs. I know with TOBI it is okay. I am not 100% sure with PRedisone cause I am not on it. But if you can not get a hold of your doc you can call a pharmacist and ask. I have done that before to check on interaction. But my opinion and it is an opinion only is you should be fine but I would talk to doc on tuesday about it more...

Hope you feel better soon!
