The medicine's name was said 'Six-sixty-six', not 'six-six-six'. Radio ads for the medicine had the following jingle, sung to the tune of Farmer in the Dell:

Six-sixty-six
Six-sixty-six
Colds make you feel so bad,
Take Six-sixty-six

It also explains why it’s called that (it was the next number in the original pharmacist’s prescription book).

"I don't care how effective it is. I'm not swallowing 666 tablets."

You can go with 666 glasses of liquid instead.
