VapoRub 1.76 oz Topical Ointment
Vicks VapoRub is a topical cough suppressant and analgesic ointment supplied in a 1.76 oz jar containing 50 g of product. It uses medicated vapours to relieve cough symptoms and is appropriate for adults and children aged two and over.
Suitable for non-drowsy cough relief
This ointment suits users who want cough relief without the drowsiness or jittery side effects associated with some oral medicines. Because it is applied topically, it may be appropriate for diabetics seeking an alternative to sugar-containing oral syrups. It is not intended for children under two years old or for anyone needing an ingestible medication format.
Active ingredients and sustained vapour action
The formula contains camphor at 4.8%, eucalyptus oil at 1.2% and menthol at 2.6%. These ingredients release medicated vapours that continue working while the ointment remains on the skin, providing ongoing symptom relief rather than a short burst.
