When to use Vicks Vapoease Patches?
Here are some situations when you might consider using a Vicks VapoEase Patch:
- Chest congestion: VapoEase Patches may help to loosen mucus in your chest, making it easier to cough it up.
- Cough: If you have a cough due to a cold, flu, or other respiratory infection, a VapoEase Patch may help to soothe your throat and loosen mucus.
- Stuffy nose: The menthol and eucalyptus in the patch can help open up your nasal passages and make breathing easier.

How to use Vicks Vapoease Patches
Vicks patches are incredibly easy to use because they're conveniently packaged. Just unwrap one patch from the pouch and remove the plastic backing. Apply the sticky side of the patch to your child's clothing around the chest area and leave it on for up to eight hours.
The patches are suitable for day and night use, but it's important to avoid sticking them to delicate materials like suede and silk, as they can damage the fabric.

FAQ
Who can use Vapoease Patches?
The patches are suitable for children aged three and over. While they won't treat a cold or infection, they do provide symptomatic relief from colds or illnesses that cause congestion.
How do I apply the patches?
The patches are easy to use and are applied to the child's outer clothing. Just peel off the film and stick it firmly to the chest exterior before bed. Do not apply the patches directly onto your child's skin. The patches are for external use only.
How long do VICKS VapoEase Patches provide relief?
The patches usually provide soothing relief for up to 8 hours. However, you can use up to three patches in 24 hours to ensure your child continues to inhale eucalyptus vapours.
Can VICKS VapoEase Patches be used during the day and night?
Yes, these patches are suitable for use both during the day and at night. Applying them before your child goes to bed ensures they'll sleep through the night and won't experience severe congestion.
Can VICKS VapoEase Patches be used on children with sensitive skin?
If your child has sensitive skin or an existing condition, please consult a doctor before using them. While the patches are applied to clothing instead of directly on the skin, they could still cause irritation if the child's skin comes into contact with them.
Can I use VICKS VapoEase Patches if my child coughs or colds?
Yes, these patches can help alleviate symptoms associated with a cough or cold. However, if your child has excess phlegm or a high temperature, they might have a chest infection and will require antibiotics.
Are VICKS VapoEase Patches safe to use with other medications?
While interactions with other medications are rare, it's still a good idea to ask a doctor or pharmacist for advice if your child is currently using them.
Can VICKS VapoEase Patches be reused?
No, VICKS VapoEase Patches are designed for single use only. Using them multiple times or leaving the patch on for too long will cause the vapours to fail to work correctly and will fail to provide relief for your child.
What should I do if my child has an allergic reaction to VICKS VapoEase Patches?
If an allergic reaction occurs, please remove the patch immediately and wash your child's skin with mild soap and water. If you need additional advice, you can also contact a healthcare professional.
Can VICKS VapoEase Patches be used on children younger than 5 years old?
The patches are suitable for children aged three and older but should not be used on children younger than three.
Are VICKS VapoEase Patches scented?
The patches have a natural fragrance due to the combination of essential oils, menthol, and eucalyptus.
How many patches are included in one pack of VICKS VapoEase Patches?
This pack includes five patches, which ensure your child has congestion support for the duration of a mild cold. You can also find packs with more patches ideal for long-term congestion.
Can VICKS VapoEase Patches be used for adults?
Yes, adults can also use VICKS VapoEase Patches. However, they might be best with stronger treatments that are more suited to severe congestion.
Are VICKS VapoEase Patches suitable for children with asthma?
While many children with asthma can - and do - use Vicks Vapoease Patches, it's a good idea to consult your doctor beforehand. Severe asthma can react to the menthol and eucalyptus vapours, which might worsen your child's symptoms.
Side Effects
Due to their natural ingredients, Vapoease patches rarely have any side effects, but they can cause irritation if they come into contact with the skin, eyes or mouth.
