When to use Vicks Vapoease Patches?

Here are some situations when you might consider using a Vicks VapoEase Patch:

  • Chest congestion: VapoEase Patches may help to loosen mucus in your chest, making it easier to cough it up.
  • Cough: If you have a cough due to a cold, flu, or other respiratory infection, a VapoEase Patch may help to soothe your throat and loosen mucus.
  • Stuffy nose: The menthol and eucalyptus in the patch can help open up your nasal passages and make breathing easier.
  • Difficulty sleeping: If you're having trouble sleeping due to a cough or stuffy nose, applying a VapoEase Patch before bed may help you get a better night's rest.

Age restrictions

Vicks Vapoease Patches are usually suitable for children aged three or over. Other treatments are available for babies suffering from congestion.

How to use Vicks Vapoease Patches

Vicks patches are incredibly easy to use because they're conveniently packaged. Just unwrap one patch from the pouch and remove the plastic backing. Apply the sticky side of the patch to your child's clothing around the chest area and leave it on for up to eight hours.

The patches are suitable for day and night use, but it's important to avoid sticking them to delicate materials like suede and silk, as they can damage the fabric.

When to avoid using Vicks Vapoease

If any of the following apply, please avoid using Vicks Vapoease Patches for Children and seek an alternative treatment:

  • Sensitive Skin: Vicks Vapoease Patches might cause irritation in children with sensitive skin.
  • Allergy: Children with sensitivities to eucalyptus oil, menthol, and other ingredients in the patches may experience a reaction - even when they are not applied directly to the skin.
  • Respiratory Conditions: Menthol vapours can irritate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma.

Precautions

When using Vicks Vapoease Patches, never apply the patch directly to your child's skin, as it can cause severe irritation. Instead, apply it over the clothes to prevent irritation and ensure your child benefits from the soothing ingredients.

Ingredients:

Vicks Patches for Children are non-medicated, which means they contain only natural ingredients. Each patch combines eucalyptus oil, menthol, camphor, and other essential oils.

Due to their natural ingredients, Vapoease patches rarely have any side effects, but they can cause irritation if they come into contact with the skin, eyes or mouth.

Leaflets

Please read the patient information leaflet carefully before using the patches, and don't hesitate to contact Pharmacy Online if you have any questions.
