Vicks VapoDrops

Vicks VapoDrops are a popular line of throat lozenges and cough drops designed to soothe sore throats and clear nasal passages through the use of menthol and herbal ingredients. The packaging shown features the 'arl.org.au' Australian recycling label, indicating it is distributed for the Australian and New Zealand markets.

The brand's history dates back to the late 19th century in Greensboro, North Carolina, where pharmacist Lunsford Richardson developed a series of remedies, the most famous being VapoRub. The Vicks brand was later expanded into various cold and flu relief categories, including the VapoDrops line.

Today, Vicks is a flagship brand of the American multinational consumer goods corporation Procter & Gamble (P&G). While the brand originated in the United States, manufacturing is decentralized to serve global markets. Specifically, for the Asia-Pacific and Australian regions, many Vicks lozenge products are manufactured in India or other regional hubs, supervised by local subsidiaries like Procter & Gamble Australia Pty Ltd.
