  • Soothes irritated throat tissue and reduces cough reflex
  • Compact 50ml bottle — convenient for home or travel
  • Suitable for short-term symptomatic relief during colds and respiratory infections
Ingredients and Materials

Active ingredients (typical for wet & dry cough syrups): Many Vicks cough formulations combine an expectorant and a cough suppressant (for example, guaifenesin and dextromethorphan) plus soothing additives. Exact ingredients and concentrations can vary by market and pack. Always check the product label for the precise active and inactive ingredients before use.

Inactive materials: Syrup base, flavoring agents (often menthol or eucalyptus flavors in Vicks products), preservatives and stabilizers. Packaging: 50ml plastic bottle with child-resistant cap.

How to Use

Use Vicks Acta Plus as directed on the product label or as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Typical guidance for cough syrups:

  • Shake well before use.
  • Measure doses with a proper measuring cup or spoon — do not use household teaspoons.
  • Follow the recommended dose and frequency on the pack. If symptoms persist for more than a few days, or worsen, stop use and consult a doctor.

Do not exceed the recommended dose. For children, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, seek medical advice before use.

Who It’s For

Vicks Acta Plus is formulated for adults and adolescents who need symptomatic relief from coughs associated with colds, bronchitis or other short-term respiratory conditions. It targets both wet coughs (to help loosen phlegm) and dry coughs (to help suppress the cough reflex).

Not all formulations are suitable for young children — always check the label or consult a healthcare professional for pediatric use.

Caution & Storage

Cautions: Read the label carefully. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking other medications (especially MAO inhibitors or other central nervous system depressants), have chronic respiratory conditions (e.g., asthma, COPD) or other underlying health issues. Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience allergic reactions, rash, difficulty breathing, high fever or symptoms that worsen.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use past the printed expiry date on the bottle.

Note: Product formulations can vary by country. Always verify the exact active ingredients, dosing and safety information on the product packaging or consult your pharmacist or healthcare provider for personalized advice.
