When to Use Care Menthol Crystals (BP)?

They use peppermint oil and create a potent vapour that facilitates easy breathing.

Care Menthol Crystals are most useful for:

• Colds and Flu: Relieving general congestion and unblocking stuffy noses.
• Sinusitis: Clearing the nasal passages and reducing pressure in your sinuses.
• Catarrh: Loosening and clearing mucus.
• Aeroplane Ear: Equalising pressure in the ears during and after flights.

Age Restrictions for Care Menthol 5g

In most cases, Care Menthol Crystals are suitable for adults and children aged 16 and older. However, you may also give them to children aged 12 and over if a registered pharmacist says it's OK.

In some cases, a doctor may also recommend using them on younger children, but you should always follow the GP's instructions.

How to Use Care Menthol Crystals (5g)?

When using Care Menthol Crystals BP, please follow the instructions. Remember, the crystals are 100% menthol, and a small amount goes a long way.

• Hot Water: Use a heat-proof bowl and mix it with hot water (avoid boiling water).
• Add the Crystals: Use a spoon or some tweezers to add one to two crystals to the water. This is usually enough to benefit from the menthol effects.
• Lean Over the Bowl: Lean over the bowl, but keep your face at least 20cm away from the surface.
• Inhale: Close your eyes to prevent irritation and breathe the vapour in through your nose and mouth. You can also use a towel for severe congestion.
• Duration: Give each treatment 5-10 minutes. You can perform it up to 3 times a day.

Alternative Uses

• Aeroplane Ear: If you experience ear issues when flying, ask the cabin crew for a cup of hot water and add one crystal. Breathing the menthol vapour in can prevent the ears from popping.
• Aromatherapy: Add a few crystals to your oil burner or a large bowl of water, then place it in the corner of the room to help clear minor digestive issues.
• Bath: Adults sometimes add a tiny amount of crystals to bath water.

When to Avoid Care Menthol Crystals (BP/5g)?

While Care Menthol Crystals can relieve congestion and deliver cool and clear breathing, they're not suitable for everyone. If any of the following apply, you should ask a registered pharmacist for safer alternatives:

• Asthma or COPD: Individuals with respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can experience a worsening of symptoms when they use the crystals. There's also a higher risk of asthma attacks.
• Chronic Cough: If you have a persistent cough from a respiratory condition or smoking, please avoid using the crystals. Also, if you're producing excess mucus, you may have a chest infection that requires antibiotics.
• Allergies: If you're allergic or sensitive to peppermint oil or menthol, using the crystals could result in a severe reaction.
