Vick VapoRub topical ointment

VapoRub is a world-renowned topical cough suppressant and analgesic ointment. The brand 'Vick' (known as Vicks globally) was originally created in the United States in the late 19th century by Lunsford Richardson. It gained massive popularity during the 1918 flu pandemic.

Today, the brand is owned by Procter & Gamble (P&G), an American multinational consumer goods corporation. While the product is a staple in Brazilian households, its manufacturing occurs in various global facilities to meet regional demands, including production in Mexico and other specialized plants. In Brazil, it is distributed and managed by the local subsidiary of Procter & Gamble.
