1. nyquil

   Cold medicines are a group of medications taken individually or in combination as a treatment for the symptoms of the common cold and similar conditions of the upper respiratory tract. The term encompasses a broad array of drugs, including analgesics, antihistamines and decongestants, among many others. It also includes drugs which are marketed as cough suppressants or antitussives, but their effectiveness in reducing cough symptoms is unclear or minimal.While they have been used by 10% of American children in any given week, they are not recommended in Canada or the United States in children six years or younger because of lack of evidence showing effect and concerns of harm. In 2020, one version containing codeine and guaifenesin was the 377th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States with more than 400 thousand prescriptions.

1. NyQuil

   A commercial combination preparation, by Vicks, containing acetaminophen, dextromethorphan hydrobromide and doxylamine succinate used to relieve symptoms of cold and flu. Acetaminophen exerts analgesic and antipyretic actions by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Dextromethorphan exerts antitussive activity by raising the threshold for coughing in the cough center. Doxylamine succinate, an antihistamine, blocks the effects of histamine, thereby treating symptoms such as sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, runny nose, itchy throat and causes drowsiness.
