Vicks cough drops

Vicks is a globally recognized American brand specializing in over-the-counter medications and health products. Originally founded in the late 19th century by Lunsford Richardson in North Carolina, USA, the brand initially gained fame for its signature VapoRub salve. Richardson named the brand in honor of his brother-in-law, Dr. Joshua Vick.

Today, Vicks products, including these cough drops or throat lozenges, are manufactured in various locations worldwide to serve different regional markets. Since 1985, the brand has been under the ownership of Procter & Gamble, a massive American multinational consumer goods corporation. This relationship has allowed Vicks to expand its reach, offering a wide variety of respiratory relief products and confectionery-style medicated drops to consumers globally.
