Gravol and Tylenol Cold
Can we take it ?
I am going up in our work helicopter (hopefully Thursday night) and last time I was up I got a little dizzy/air sick. Wondering if I can take 1/2 gravol before and it will be ok ?
Also, Tylenol products ? Can we take them with added things like the Cold version ? Flu version ?
Thanks !

Gravol is fine. I would be more likely to take tylenol extra strength and a benedryl rather than the tylenol cold or flu. The only thing they offer is some cough suppressant and that can probably be accomplished by the bendryl and a nasal rinse. Just my opinion. I don't like OTC meds with more than two drugs in them. Mostly their ****tails are not going to address specifically what you need when you have either a cold or the flu. Its like taking a shotgun to kill a deer, might work but unnecessarily messy!
Gravol is fine to take post op and so are the Tylenol line of products.

Yes you can take Gravol and Tylenol Cold. I was sick a couple of weeks ago and called my centre to ask. Both are fine.
