Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer.

Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It affects the cough reflex in the brain that triggers coughing.

Doxylamine is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).

NyQuil D is a combination medicine used to treat headache, fever, body aches, cough, runny nose, sneezing, and sinus congestion caused by the common cold, or the flu.

NyQuil D will not treat a cough that is caused by smoking, asthma, or emphysema.
