You beat me to this. I gasped when I read this. I have a patient at my pharmacy that is constantly buying Nyquil for her RAH and we've tried to explain this to her and she doesn't get it because her H tells her he isn't getting drunk off it. If a RA wants to use Nyquil to sleep, he/she should try taking Bendaryl tablets instead.
