Vicks Vaporub, 105 ml

Vicks VapoRub is a medicated topical formulation developed to provide multi-symptom relief from common cold and flu discomfort. The aromatic ingredients release medicated vapours when applied to the chest, throat, or back, helping relieve congestion and suppress cough. The formulation also provides a mild warming and cooling sensation that helps soothe body aches and muscular discomfort associated with colds. Its petroleum-based ointment ensures gradual release of vapours for prolonged relief. The 105 ml value pack is ideal for regular family use during seasonal cold and flu periods.

• Fast Chest Congestion Relief: The volatile oils in this formula evaporate quickly when applied to the skin, creating medicated vapours. Inhaling these vapours immediately helps to clear blocked airways and provides profound chest congestion relief.
• Effective Cough Suppressant: Formulated with optimal levels of camphor and menthol, inhaling the vapours directly calms the hyperactive cough reflex in the upper respiratory tract, reducing the frequency and severity of dry, hacking coughs.
• Clears Stubborn Nasal Congestion: Menthol interacts with cold-sensitive receptors in the nose, creating a cooling sensation that reduces the feeling of nasal congestion and restores normal breathing relief within minutes.
• Soothes Muscle Ache Relief: Operating as a mild topical analgesic, it increases local blood circulation when rubbed into the skin. This generates a warming sensation that alleviates minor muscle ache relief and stiffness associated with colds.
• Up to 8 Hours of Symptom Control: The specialised petroleum base ensures a slow, sustained release of aromatic ingredients. A single bedtime application provides long-lasting comfort, allowing uninterrupted sleep during cold and flu bouts.
• Comprehensive Cold and Flu Remedy: It offers versatile 6-in-1 relief, effectively targeting coughs, blocked noses, breathing difficulty, body aches, headaches, and muscular stiffness without the need to ingest multiple oral medications.
