Vicks VapoRub Lavender is a popular topical cough suppressant developed by the world's leading over-the-counter cough and cold brand. The soothing essence of lavender combines with the trusted Vicks Vapors to deliver a comforting experience. This medicated ointment, containing vapors, rapidly relieves coughs, allowing for easier breathing. The company's formulation features three active cough suppressants: menthol, camphor, and eucalyptus oil. For temporary relief from coughs due to minor throat and bronchial irritation caused by the common cold, apply a generous layer to the chest and throat area. To maximize the effect, keep clothing loose around the throat and chest to facilitate the vapors' direct journey to the nose and mouth. Use up to three times a day or, as directed by a doctor, for soothing and comforting relief. VapoRub can also be used as a topical analgesic to temporarily alleviate minor aches and pains in muscles and joints. For muscle and joint aches and pains, apply to the affected area no more than three to four times a day. Based on the Nicolas Hall's global OTC sales database, DB6, Vicks VapoRub is the world's #1 selling OTC cough and cold brand.
