What are Vicks Vapopads?
Is your bothersome blocked nose preventing you from getting a good night's sleep? Vicks Vapopads are a type of decongestant that’ll help you to breathe easily. These refillable, menthol-infused pads are activated by heat and release soothing vapours into the air to provide you with extra comfort.
How to use this product
This product is compatible with Vicks humidifiers, inhalers and vaporisers. Remove the outer packaging from the pad and insert it into your chosen device. Each scented pad should last for up to 8 hours.
How does menthol relieve congestion?
Menthol is an organic compound made from peppermint, eucalyptus and mint oils. When inhaled, menthol helps to cool the airway passages to make it easier for you to breathe.
What causes congestion?
Congestion is caused when the blood vessels in your nose dilate, causing inflammation and discomfort. A decongestant clears up congestion, helping you to breathe easier. Decongestant treatments help to narrow these blood vessels, and with the swelling reduced, it allows more air to pass through and the mucus to drain, providing relief for cold and flu symptoms.
Are Vicks Vapopads suitable for children?
Vicks Vapopads are suitable for children aged 36 months and over. If you’re looking for a congestion treatment for a child under the age of 36 months, speak to your doctor or Chemist4U pharmacist for advice on alternative treatment options.
Are Vicks Vapopads suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, you must ask your doctor or Chemist4U pharmacist for advice before using Vicks Vapopads.
Storage information
