1.76oz (50g) Vicks Vaporub Relief From Headache, Cough, Cold, Flu, Blocked Nose

Overview & Indications

• Vicks VapoRub is a topical, over‑the‑counter ointment designed to relieve multiple cold‑related symptoms

• In the 50 g (1.76 oz) size, it is intended for both adults and children aged 2 years and older

• The jar offers multi‑symptom relief, including:

  • Cough (from minor throat/bronchial irritation)

  • Nasal and chest congestion (“blocked nose”)

  • Headache

  • Minor body/muscle aches

  • Muscular stiffness

  • Difficulty breathing or airways feeling blocked

 Active & Inactive Ingredients

• Active ingredients (in petroleum jelly base):

  • Camphor 4.8%

  • Menthol 2.6%

  • Eucalyptus oil 1.2%

• Inactive components may include cedar leaf oil, nutmeg oil, thymol, turpentine oil, petrolatum, and others depending on formulation region

How It Works

• When applied to the chest and throat, the vaporized active ingredients provide cooling vapors that help reduce coughing and soothe irritation

• The menthol‑scented vapors may subjectively make you feel less congested, though they do not actually clear mucus or reduce nasal swelling

• For muscle or joint pain, direct topical application provides a localized cooling analgesic effect from the camphor and menthol
