1. Product Overview
Vicks VapoPads are non-medicated refill pads designed to release soothing menthol vapors. Each pad provides up to eight hours of vapor release. These pads are compatible with most Vicks plug-in and waterless vaporizers, inhalers, and humidifiers that utilize scent pads. They are intended to provide comfort during periods of cold, cough, and flu by promoting easier breathing and supporting restful sleep.
