Best Answer

Sudafed is a brand name, so it's hard to say, since there are different formulations. The active ingredient in plain old original Sudafed was pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, while the "active" ingredient in the new Sudafed PE is phenylephrine hydrochloride. (Note: in some locations the new stuff is marketed as simply Sudafed, so if you're looking for a decongestant that actually decongests better than a placebo does, check the ingredients list).

What is the difference between Sudafed and Sudafed pe?

The difference between Sudafed and Sudafed PE is that Sudafed contains pseudoephedrine and Sudafed PE contains phenylephrine. While phenylephrine doesn't work quite as well as a decongestant, it is the most common decongestant ingredient in cold and sinus formulations, due to the fact that people were using pseudoephedrine to make the illegal drug methamphetamine.

Can you take Sudafed and aspirin on the same day?

It all depends on the main ingredient in the Sudafed you are purchasing. The regular Sudafed which contains pseudoephdrine is safe to take with Dayquil. The Sudafed PE, which is now being sold can not be taken with Dayquil since Dayquil contains the same decongestant, phenylephrine as Sudafed PE.
