Vicks VapoRub Advanced Plus is a chest rub and topical analgesic for minor aches and pains. Brought to you by the world’s #1 selling OTC cough and cold brand (1), it provides fast, powerful cough relief. Specially formulated with three active ingredients to help relieve your cough, it also delivers a cooling sensation upon application. VapoRub is the answer to your cough, day or night, with active-release Vicks Vapors that last up to 8 hours. To use, rub a thick layer of the medicated ointment on your chest and throat to temporarily relieve your cough. Keep clothing loose around the throat and chest to allow the Vicks Vapors to reach the nose and mouth and go straight to the source of your cough. Use up to three times daily or as directed by a doctor for soothing, comforting relief. VapoRub Advanced Plus can also be used as a topical analgesic to temporarily relieve minor aches and pains in your muscles and joints. For muscle and joint aches and pains, apply to the affected area no more than three to four times daily.
