Vicks DayQuil is an over-the-counter combination medication product used for the temporary relief of common cold and flu symptoms. DayQuil is available in several formulations.[1]
DayQuil was introduced in 1974 under the name "Vicks DayCare" and is currently advertised for daytime use because of its non-drowsy active ingredients.[2] The brand name was reintroduced as " DayQuil" in 1992. DayQuil's nighttime counterpart, NyQuil, is also available for the relief of cold and flu symptoms during the night. These products are not intended to cure the common cold or the flu.
