NyQuil is a brand of medication which is intended to relieve various symptoms of the common cold. Because all of the medications within the NyQuil imprint contain sedating antihistamines and/or hypnotics and alcohol, they are typically taken at night, just before bedtime. Its daytime counterpart is DayQuil, which does not contain sedating antihistamines and is not intended to induce drowsiness. Both NyQuil and DayQuil are manufactured by Procter & Gamble.
NyQuil is formulated as either liquid or capsules (LiquiCaps). The liquid form was introduced in the fall of 1968 (with numerous magazine ads and television commercials), and the capsules were introduced in the late 1980s. The product's slogans have traditionally described the product as "The nighttime, sniffling, sneezing...(three or four more symptoms, plus a verb description, such as 'so you can rest')...medicine" where the list is slightly tailored to the particular formulation being offered.
