It is unlikely that drug dayquil you taken is the cause of for your shortened menstrual period. However, we can not definitely rule out that this drug is not the cause. The drug dayquil contains pseudoepnedrine- A drug which produces constriction of blood vessels. It is possible that the constriction of blood vessels of uterus would have shortened your periods.
