Vicks NyQuil is a brand of over-the-counter medication manufactured by Procter & Gamble intended for the relief of various symptoms of the common cold. All medications within the NyQuil imprint contain sedating antihistamines , hypnotics , and/or alcohol ; they are intended to be taken before sleep.
It is available over-the-counter and is typically sold under such brand names as Equate or Unisom, among others; and it is used in nighttime cold medicines (e.g., NyQuil) and pain medications containing acetaminophen and/or codeine to help with sleep. The medication is delivered chemically by the salt doxylamine succinate and is taken by mouth.
NyQuil used to contain the nasal decongestant pseudoephedrine. Some pharmacies stock medications with pseudoephedrine behind the counter due to fears that they will be used as an ingredient to produce illegal drugs. Because taking the product off store shelves negatively impacts sales, the pseudoephedrine was removed from the formula.
