Vicks Nature Fusion
Works for: Cough, chest congestion
Vicks offers a gluten-free and dye-free alternative to the usual cough syrup, flavored with real honey. The active ingredients are no different than other cough meds, but staying true to a strict nutritional regimen may make you sleep a little easier (Oz).
Remember that different OTC drugs may contain the same active ingredient. If you are taking more than one OTC drug, pay attention to the active ingredients used in the products to avoid taking too much of a particular ingredient. Know how to take drugs safely and responsibly.
Remember, the drug label will tell you:
• what the drug is used for
• how to take the drug
• how to reduce the risk of drug interactions and unwanted side effects (Administration)
It is important to take medicines correctly, and being careful when giving them to children. More medicine does not necessarily mean better. You should never take OTC medicines longer or in higher doses than the label recommends. If your symptoms don't go away, it's a clear sign that it's time to see your healthcare provider.
