Vicks VapoRub and healthcare products

Vicks is one of the world's most recognized names in over-the-counter respiratory treatments, famous for its signature VapoRub. The brand's history dates back to the late 19th century in North Carolina, where pharmacist Lunsford Richardson developed a range of medicinal remedies.

Today, Vicks is a key part of the Procter & Gamble portfolio. While it originated as a family-owned business in the United States, its manufacturing operations are now global to meet international demand. Production facilities are located in various regions including North America, Europe, and Asia, ensuring products are tailored to local regulatory requirements and market needs.

Under Procter & Gamble's ownership, the Vicks brand has expanded from its original mentholated ointment to include a wide array of cough drops, nasal sprays, and liquid cold medicines. The brand continues to be headquartered out of Cincinnati, Ohio, as part of the P&G global healthcare division.
