Is it ok to take Equate (Like Niquil) cold and flu med before surgery. Back surgery is on Nov. 1. Needs to clear up congestion before then? No aspirin, no multi vitamin is being taken at the present. Have a prescrip for Tramadol, but will not take the One pill each night if can take the cold and flu med.
Hi, NyQuil (Doxylamin - antihistamine & Acetaminophen) can be taken for cold and flu for a short period for symptomatic relief. Tramadol is opioid analgesic and not available over the counter. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
