What medicine does NyQuil contain?
What is the difference between NyQuil and Dayquil? When should I take NyQuil? How long should I take NyQuil? Are there any printable coupons for NyQuil?

I am not a doctor.
There are now many versions of Vicks NyQuil and Vicks DayQuil available, but the classic NyQuil contains the following active ingredients: acetaminophen for pain and fever relief, dextromethorphan for suppressing coughs, and doxylamine succinate, an antihistamine. According to their website (http://www.vicks.com/products/nyquil/cold-flu-liquid-medicine/) NyQuil contains the following inactive ingredients in Soothing Original: acesulfame potassium, alcohol, citric acid, D&C Yellow No. 10, FD&C Green No. 3, FD&C Yellow No. 6, flavor, high fructose corn syrup, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, purified water, saccharin sodium, sodium citrate. The following inactive ingredients are in Soothing Cherry: acesulfame potassium, alcohol, citric acid, FD&C Blue No. 1, FD&C Red No. 40, flavor, high fructose corn syrup, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, purified water, saccharin sodium, sodium citrate. Each product contains: 5 mg potassium and 18 mg sodium (Original) or 5 mg potassium and 19 mg sodium (Cherry).
The difference between NyQuil and DayQuil is that NyQuil contains doxylamine succinate and DayQuil contains phenylephrine HCl instead, which will help you stay alert instead of making you drowsy. NyQuil is best taken when you want to rest but you don’t feel well, whereas DayQuil is best taken when you want to be awake and aren’t feeling well. The packaging on NyQuil states that you should not take more than four doses in a 24-hour period.
