Message: <blockquote data-quote="ButtterflyLady" data-source="post: 925863" data-attributes="member: 43498">I think Azure's info about taking only one capsule to reduce the drowsiness is a good idea.  I'm not familiar with this product so I googled it just out of interest, and found this:<a href="http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/aches-and-pains/medicines/day-and-night-nurse.html" target="_blank">http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/aches-and-pains/medicines/day-and-night-nurse.html</a>It says day/night nurse is not to be used in diabetes, but it doesn't say why.  One of the ingredients in night nurse is the antihistamine phenergan, which does make people pretty sedated/drowsy.  You might want to call a 24 hour pharmacy for advice?  Or just take one capsule if you feel confident about being awake enough if you go low.  A medicated nasal spray might be a good option for making it easier to breathe at night with a cold.  And paracetamol for pain and fever (but calculate the paracetamol in day/night nurse so you don't overdo it).Hope you feel better soon!</blockquote>
