I'm on a mirtazapine prescription and I recently got a cold/flu. It's getting worse and I bought some dayquil. Is it safe to take both together?

You seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat infection in this season. You may need to take antibiotics, anti cold medicines and decongestant nasal drops for few days for faster recovery. Both medications are usually safe to be taken together if prescribed by a doctor after detailed examination and diagnosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
