## Description

Vicks First Defence Nasal Spray helps you in the fight against common cold viruses. You can use this, the moment you feel like you are getting a cold (e.g., a tickle at the back of the throat, tickly nose or sneezing) as it helps reduce the risk of acquiring a full-blown cold. This nasal spray can also be used when you feel like you are at a risk of catching a cold (when someone at home has one, crowded public transport etc). Can be used for up to 4 days only if no symptoms develop. If symptoms develop, continue to use until they subside.

How it works:

*   The microgel traps viruses in the nasopharynx area (nose and top of throat).
*   The low pH microgel (pH 3.5) inactivates acid susceptible viruses.
*   Contributes to a nasal washout effect to flush out the virus from the nose or down into the stomach.
