Description
Helps to stop your cold in its tracks! Vicks First Defence is a medical device, here to help you in the fight against common cold viruses.
You can use it at first signs of a cold to help reduce the risk of developing a full blown cold or you can even start using it when exposed to cold viruses.
How to use:
For nasal use. Blow your nose gently. Remove protective cap. The metered dose spray is ready to prime before use. Before the first application, prime the pump by actuating (depressing the pump) 4 times. Once primed the pump will normally remain charged throughout regular daily treatment periods. Should the spray not be ejected during full actuation, the pump will need to be re-primed by actuating 4 times. Be very careful not to spray in the eyes or mouth. Hold the bottle upright with thumb under base and nozzle between two fingers. Lean forward slightly and insert the nozzle into nostril. Spray and breathe in gently through the nose at the same time. Repeat with the other nostril. Clean and dry the nozzle before replacing back the cap right after use.
As with all medicines, please ensure you read the patient information leaflet before taking this item.
Start to use within 36h of feeling sick with the first cold symptoms (e.g. a tickle at the back of the throat or sneezing), before the cold has fully developed. Use up to 4 times per day. Continue to use for 2 days after symptoms subside.
From 12 years old, use only as directed: Apply 2-3 sprays per nostril and avoid inhaling deeply. Allow 4 hours between applications, no more than 4 applications in 24 hours. Without tilting your head, insert the nozzle into your nostril, incline the nozzle outwards in the direction of your ear.
Do not use for more than 7 consecutive days.
