The Vicks company offers effective solutions based on natural products that relieve discomfort and help maintain health.

Brand history

\r\n

Vicks was born in 1890 in the market town of Greensboro in Northern California, when Richardson Lundsford, a pharmacist, used his skills in chemistry and combined them with a variety of natural ingredients to create products to sell to the rural community in need of pain relief. From then on, he continued to work steadily and the effort paid off as he managed to develop 21 new home remedies, most notably Vick Vaporub. In 1911, he sold his shop and set up the company to put all his efforts into making Salve, known as Vick Vaporub. This product turned out to be the star of the company, as millions of people found relief from their pain.

\r\n

Following its success, the company continued to expand across the country, expanding its borders to Mexico and Latin America. Patients and doctors alike trusted the effects of Vick and little by little new products such as Vick Syrup and Vick Lozenges were developed and, today, with more than 90 years of experience in the sector, the company has established itself as the leading company for relieving cough and flu symptoms.

\r\n

How to relieve sore throats and headaches?

\r\n

The Vick brand develops a whole range of products to relieve sore throats and head aches.Vick candies are another way to relieve sore throats and are available in menthol, lemon, cherry and orange flavours. They are solid candies that cool the throat as well as the whole mouth. They can be taken at the discretion of the individual and can also be taken by children who can suck on solid candy.

\r\n

For headache Vick offers products such as Vick Pyrena, which also relieves fever, sore throat, muscle aches and congestion. It contains paracetamol combined with a nasal decongestant. It tastes like honey, which makes it delicious and pleasant to take, avoiding the unpleasantness of other remedies for relieving discomfort. To take the Vick Pyrena range, dissolve the contents of the sachet in water or hot tea and take, for those over 18, one sachet every four hours for as long as there are symptoms, not exceeding six sachets a day. Between the ages of 12 and 18, take one sachet every six hours, not to exceed four sachets a day.
