Night Nurse? That's what you say after you drink it--"Night, nurse" :)
Here on this side of the Pond, a Night Nurse is always welcomed :-)
Your Night Nurse has promethazine in it.
Not sure if that is legal for over the counter (OTC, no Rx needed) in the U.S.
It'd be great for hiccups, too.
However, you can get some serious permanent neurological side effects if you take it regularly or rarely even with just short courses.
I think the difference is that Ny-Quil has alcohol in it, snugs. That's what knocks ya out! You don't care anymore if you are coughing or not because you are happily asleep!! LOL!
