Vicks First Defence Nasal Spray (15ml)
Fighting against common cold symptoms from the first signs of congestion.
Vick First Defence is a non-medicated spray designed to be used at the first signs of a common cold to treat them at the source. It works directly inside the nasal cavity to target symptoms of colds where the virus multiplies preventing spread.
This formula helps to trap cold viruses before they spread, allowing the body’s natural defence to remove them. When used at the first signs of symptoms, Vick First Defence can reduce the likeliness of developing a full cold and reduce the duration of illness.
