VICKS ACTION 500 AD.
₹6.47
Vicks Action 500 is a medication marketed for multi-symptom relief from cold and flu symptoms. The product name “AD” likely refers to its advertisements or potentially the “Advanced” or “Extra” formulations, which are widely advertised, particularly in India.
Product Information
Vicks Action 500 is available in different formulations, primarily Vicks Action 500 Advanced and the previously available, but now banned in India, Vicks Action 500 Extra.
- Vicks Action 500 Advanced This formulation is designed to treat common cold symptoms such as a blocked or runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, congestion, headache, body aches, and fever. Its active ingredients typically include paracetamol, caffeine, diphenhydramine, and phenylephrine.
- Vicks Action 500 Extra This older formulation (containing paracetamol, caffeine, and phenylephrine) was banned by the Indian government due to a ban on a specific fixed-dose combination of drugs, leading P&G to discontinue its sale in India in 2016.
Advertising and Popular Culture
The advertisements for Vicks Action 500 are considered iconic in certain regions, especially in India during the 90s, often featuring simple but effective messaging about its ability to quickly relieve multiple cold symptoms. These ads often featured regional actors like Prabhu.
