Vicks VapoRub Xtra Strong

Vicks VapoRub Xtra Strong: This is a topical ointment used to relieve symptoms of the common cold, such as nasal congestion, cough, headache, and muscle aches.

The “extra strong” version contains a higher concentration of active ingredients like menthol, eucalyptus oil, and camphor compared to the regular Vicks VapoRub.

How it works: When applied to the chest, throat, or back, the warmth from the body helps release the medicated vapors, which are then inhaled to help clear nasal passages and soothe coughs.

The increased concentration in the “extra strong” formulation provides a more potent effect.
