message: Is this really useful information in the header section of a product:
The product is referred to in the German band's EC8OR song “Gimme Nyquil All Night Long”.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tirdun (talk • contribs) 20:23, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

"To meet Wikipedia's quality standards, this article or section may require decongestion." Sorry, impossible, NyQuil isn't a decongestant. Zing! --Szabo 02:56, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone added that NyQuil Multi-Sympton Cold/Flu Relief does contain pseudoephedrine. Perhaps it does or did, but to make things even more confusing, I just bought a bottle of the stuff (7/7/06) that has a little yellow box stating: "NEW FORMULA-Pseudoephedrine Free." The ingredients are listed as acetomenaphin (pain reliever/fever reducer), dextromethorphan (cough suppressant), and doxylamine (antihistamine). No decongestant listed.Next time I stop by the drug store, I'm going to check NyQuil Multi-Symptom and regular and compare the ingredients just to be sure. Things are changing faster than we can keep tabs on them! cluth 23:04, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Reformulation

message: Third paragraph contains a poorly written reference to Canadian formulations.  Also the sentence "Because taking the product off store shelves negatively impacts sales, the pseudoephedrine was removed from the formula" does not make sense; the only logical sequitur would be that it would cause the drug companies to resist removing pseudoephedrine.  Submitting this for cleanup. -Rolypolyman 19:54, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Possibly, the alcohol (?) can be abused as... alcohol, dextromethorphan as a dissoactive , and Doxylamine succinate I believe can be abused as a hypnotic and something just make someone drowsy. I think the alcohol would be only a last ditch attempt if an alcoholic wanted some. --68.45.219.63 (talk) 17:39, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Cnyquil.jpg

message: I've heard news reports about how NyQuil is abused as a recreational drug (or maybe that it's use in an ingedient to make such). As such, one now has to be over 21 in order to purchase the product and I believe buying it in bulk gets you on a watchlist. I'm surprised to find no section covering this, as it was my reason for visiting the article.--SeizureDog (talk) 00:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  It used to be one bottle didn it? 

message: The use of the phrase, "It caught on fast" is ambiguous. Someone might want to revise the sentence, making it more clear what "it" is. In it's current context, "it" can refer to the styles of the product, or the product in general.

thread_title:  Discontinuation of NyQuil D 

message: Um, this is strange, but the article says that both regular Nyquil and Nyquil Flu-formula have 325mg Acetaminophen per 15ml tablespoon(half a dose).However, as a former user of Nyquil for sleep and with my opiates(I still occasionaly use it, just not very often) I can say with confidence, the formulation I often seen had 500mg Acetaminophen per 15mltablespoon.Not sure if I am thinking of a different style or if perhaps it's been changed, but this is worth looking into.One thing I can say for sure, they have changed the damn stuff too many times, it's possible older bottles had 500mg, but I know it did, that's why I had to use the cold 7 flu formula, as I prefer taking at least 25mg Doxlyamine at a time(the primary reason I took Nyquil, becuase Unisom wasn't widely available and the liquid hits FAST and hard) and 2'000mg was a stupid amount to have to take  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.98.250.155 (talk) 01:29, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

The subject that has encyclopedic possibilities is the brand itself (i.e., the marketing content that gets featured in business textbooks – e.g., the extension of the brand from "NyQuil" to "DayQuil"), not the ingredients of any single formulation (which all work the same no matter what label is on the bottle).
