"When you are sick, your body produces excess mucus, which also becomes thicker and more difficult to clear," says Matt Kemme, Brand Manager, Vicks. "New Vicks DayQuil Mucus Control products use a maximum strength four hour liquid formula to help you expel the mucus."
Vicks DayQuil Mucus Control and DayQuil Mucus Control DM contain an expectorant that works to loosen and thin mucus for four hours, helping to clear airways and to make breathing easier. For those suffering from a bothersome cough with mucus, Vicks DayQuil Mucus Control DM contains an added cough suppressant for even more relief.
"We've uncovered an insight that some consumers are restricting their mucus treatment to avoid coughing up phlegm in public," says Kemme. "The expectorant agent in Vicks DayQuil Mucus Control acts for four hours, helping people control over when and where they expel their mucus out."
New Vicks DayQuil Mucus Control and DayQuil Mucus Control DM are available nationwide anywhere Vicks products are sold. Available in a liquid form, Vicks DayQuil Mucus Control and Vicks DayQuil Mucus Control DM come in two sizes, a 6 fl oz. and a 10 fl oz. bottle, with an average retail price of $6.49-$7.29 MSRP. Consumers should read the label and use as directed for mucus relief. For more information, visit www.vicks.com.
