Vicks Defense Tips

You're Not Defenseless

You've caught a cold. How do you make sure you don't infect friends and family? How do you get quick, long-lasting decongestion relief? Simply follow these tips and stock your cabinet with Vicks Early Defense for two lines of defense.

Keep Germs to Yourself

  • At the first signs of a cold, use Vicks Early Defense Nasal Decongestant MicroGel Spray to fight cold congestion and get relief that lasts up to 12 hours. The unique scent signals the product is working as you begin to experience long-lasting decongestion relief.
  • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when sneezing, coughing, or blowing your nose.
  • Throw used tissues in the trash as soon as you can—don't carry them around or stash them in your pockets!
  • Always wash your hands after sneezing, blowing your nose, coughing, or touching used tissues. Don't have access to soap and water? Use Vicks Early Defense Foaming Hand Sanitizer to kill 99.9% of germs. Vicks Early Defense Foaming Hand Sanitizer helps fight germs for up to three hours.*
  • If you have a cough and fever, you could be more contagious. Try to stay home! And see your doctor as soon as possible.
  • If prescribed medications, take them as directed.
