Product Description

Customer Response

works wonderfully but $9 is a lot of money
I bought a vics vaporizer (1.5 gallon) & it worked wonderfully with vics vapo steam. Vapo steam instructions say to use 10 tablespoons. that makes the room overpowering. (we're in an average to large bedroom). I used half. 5 tablespoons of vics vaposteam in the 1.5 gallon vaporizor filled to the max with water worked perfectly. PERFECTLY. it wasn't overpowering & it did the trick. besides, vaposteam is expensive ($9 plus tax at walgreens) 10 tablespoons of vics vaposteam is almost half the container. So since I like 5 tablespoons, that's going to be four uses out of each container of vaposteam. $10 every 4 nights. that's going to get expensive. Anyhow, it worked great! my son has croup & my daughter has an awful cold. without steam vaporizers & the vapo steam they coughed all night. with the steam vaporizer (& I put vics vaposteam in it) they slept so well. I think the vaporizer alone wouldn't have suppressed the cough had I not put the expensive vaposteam in. I'm definitely buying it again but I'm so annoyed at how expensive it is.

Lifesaver
This product helped my 3 year old son with a nasty cough sleep during the night and a nap mid-day. His cough was so bad for 3 days he was not sleeping at night and he could not fall asleep for his daily 3 hour nap. We tried giving him honey, childrens tylenol before he went down, but he would not fall asleep. You put 1 tbsp per quart of water used in the Vicks vaporizer. It mixed with the water and came out as steam in his room. Going in his room there was a very heavy vicks smell, but it did the trick. He slept an hour past his usual wake up time this morning, and just now he slept an hour and a half later than he usually does for his nap. Highly recommended since you can't give your kids cold medicine at this young age.

Used this mixed in the water with the Vicks 1.5 Gallon Vaporizer with Night-Light

It works better than others
I have both allergy and asthma problems and have a very hard time breathing at night. I started using a vaporizer and that helped some but I needed something to help me with cough and restricted air way problems. I have tried many things and the Vicks VapoSteam works better than anything else I have tried. The smell of it is much better than a lot of the stuff that is out there. I highly recommend trying this (get the 4oz first and see if you like it) Vicks VapoSteam Liquid Medication, Camphor Cough Suppressant - 4 Oz. Now I would get a gallon jug if I could find it.

Worst product
this is just a cheap alcoholic product with no ingredients to help with cough or breathing. I recently used it with a Vicks Kaz Humidifer as demostrated in the product. However, instead of helping my wife sleep better who was having cough and stuffy nose, it gave me a cough and a hard time breathing. I felt suffocated because of the awful smell of alcohol and had to flush the humidifier and open the room windows and door to let fresh cold air come in and make it better.

I do not understand how can this product claim to have camphor when none of the liquid in it smells even close to camphor.

Nix vicks
Product way over priced.
All it does is add a vicks smell to the room.
