What chain pharmacies never explain.
DayQuil is the rare case where the brand-name product is worth discussing by name. Not because you can't find generic equivalents, but because DayQuil Severe's specific combination (acetaminophen + dextromethorphan + guaifenesin + phenylephrine) is the most commonly asked-for cold medicine in America, and Fairview carries it at a meaningful discount.
The genius of DayQuil's formulation is its intentional absence of antihistamines. That's why it doesn't cause drowsiness. It addresses fever, body aches, cough, mucus, and congestion while leaving your cognition intact. It's the reason it's been prescribed by pharmacists as the daytime half of the day/night cold protocol for decades.
DayQuil Severe is what I tell people to take when they have a full-blown cold and still have to function. Go to work, take care of kids, drive. No sedation, hits all the major cold symptoms. The critical safety note: DayQuil contains acetaminophen. Do not take it with Tylenol, Theraflu, or any other acetaminophen-containing product. Check your other medications. And pair it with NyQuil at night. Together they cover you 24 hours.

Questions, answered.
How is this different from the brand name on the same shelf?
The generic products we carry contain the same FDA-approved active ingredient, in the same dosage form, at the same strength as the brand-name product. The FDA requires generic medicines to meet bioequivalence standards before approval. The main difference customers notice is the price, not the medicine.
How soon will my order ship?
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days from our pharmacy in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. You will receive a tracking number once your package leaves the pharmacy. Free shipping on orders over $50.
What is your return policy if it doesn't work for me?
Unopened products in their original sealed packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund. For safety reasons, opened medications are not returnable. If something arrives damaged or incorrect, contact us within 7 days and we will make it right.
Can I take this with my prescription medications?
Some OTC products interact with common prescriptions. We strongly recommend a free pharmacist consultation before ordering if you take blood pressure medication, blood thinners, thyroid medication, antidepressants, or other prescriptions. Call 601-544-4871 or use the Ask the Pharmacist form on the site.
Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Some OTC products are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Before ordering, please request a free pharmacist consultation. A pharmacist can confirm whether this product is appropriate for your situation.
One product is good. The kit is the protocol.
Dr. Mike doesn't hand patients single products. He hands them protocols. The Complete Cold & Flu Kit is the full version of what most people need. And it skips the $50 minimum.
