DayQuil Cold & Flu Liquid is a daytime medication designed to offer temporary relief from symptoms associated with the common cold and flu. 

Active Ingredients:

  • Acetaminophen (Pain Reliever/Fever Reducer): Alleviates aches, pains, and fever commonly experienced with colds and flu. (Dosage around 650mg per 30ml is typical).
  • Dextromethorphan HBr (Cough Suppressant): Suppresses the cough reflex, reducing the urge to cough, particularly helpful for dry coughs that disrupt daily activities. (Dosage around 20mg per 30ml is common).
  • Phenylephrine HCl (Decongestant): Shrinks swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages, relieving congestion and stuffiness, allowing for easier breathing. (Dosage around 10mg per 30ml is common).

Benefits:

  • Daytime Relief: Formulated to be non-drowsy, making it suitable for use throughout the day without causing drowsiness.
  • Multi-Symptom Relief: Offers relief from a variety of cold and flu symptoms, including fever, aches and pains, coughs, and congestion.
  • Fast-Acting: May provide relief within 30 minutes of use.

Important Information:

  • Read the Label Carefully: Always verify the exact ingredients and dosage instructions on the label. Do not exceed the recommended daily dosage, especially for children.
  • Not a Cure: DayQuil Cold & Flu Liquid manages symptoms but doesn't address the underlying cause of your illness.
  • Consult a Doctor Before Use: It's important to consult your doctor before using this product if you have:
    • Persistent cough (lasting over a week or two)
    • Difficulty breathing
    • Wheezing
    • High fever (over 38°C or 100.4°F)
    • Chronic health conditions (liver or kidney disease, high blood pressure)
    • Pregnancy or breastfeeding

Additional Considerations:

  • DayQuil Cold & Flu Liquid typically comes in a 354ml bottle.
  • Drinking plenty of fluids alongside this medication is crucial to help loosen mucus and facilitate coughing it up.
  • Consider using a humidifier to add moisture to the air, which can further soothe a cough and ease congestion.
  • If your symptoms worsen or persist despite using DayQuil Cold & Flu Liquid, consult your doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
