Vicks VapoDrops Butter Menthol lozenges

Vicks VapoDrops are a globally recognized medicated lozenge designed to alleviate throat irritation and clear nasal passages. The brand's history dates back to the late 19th century in North Carolina, USA, when pharmacist Lunsford Richardson developed Vicks VapoRub. Over the decades, the product line expanded from topical ointments to oral tablets and drops to address diverse respiratory relief needs.

Today, the Vicks brand is managed by Procter & Gamble (P&G), a multinational consumer goods giant. While the brand originated in the United States, VapoDrops are produced in a variety of global manufacturing hubs, with significant production facilities located in India to serve international markets. The ownership transition through Richardson-Merrell to P&G in the 1980s solidified Vicks as a cornerstone of the global over-the-counter healthcare market.
