Labeling varies by product; many DayQuil options list either '12 years and up' or '18 years and up' depending on the formulation—always check the product label for the specific age recommendation.

For adults, the typical dose is two liquicaps taken with water every 4 hours. Do not exceed four doses in 24 hours (a total of 8 liquicaps).

Labels advise consulting a doctor before use if you are pregnant or nursing, if you are taking prescription medications, or if you have conditions such as high blood pressure, thyroid disease, diabetes, liver disease, heart disease, glaucoma, breathing problems, or difficulty urinating. They also warn not to use MAOIs and instruct to keep the product out of reach of children.

Yes. Some DayQuil products are formulated for people with high blood pressure and are decongestant-free; these variants may also be offered as smaller liquicaps in easy-open bottles.
