Nasal Spray For Blocked Nose, First Defence, Relief Of Cough Cold And Flu Like Symptoms, Nose Spray Helps To Inactivate & Remove Cold Viruses, Blocked Nose Relief, Cold Virus Blocker, 15 ml

Before spraying, sit down and tilt your head back slightly. Place the nozzle as far up your nose as it will go (without excessive force) and dispense three sprays. Then; holding the other nostril down with your finger, take in some gentle breaths, encouraging the fluid to enter up into your nasal cavities (part that gets blocked when you have a cold). Be careful you don’t inhale too hard as it can be quite unpleasant this – though you do get used to it. It feels like acid is being zonked up your nasal cavity. They recommend in the instructions for you NOT to do this, but I’ve found it works better if you do. Up in your nasal tubes is where the cold virus resides and develops.Ironically when you take the spray, it may give you cold like symptoms for up to an hour or so, sometimes a little longer. This is your body reacting to the foreign nature of the spray, trying to get rid of it. Hopefully as it gets rid of it, the spray will have trapped much of the virus by that time, expelling it out of your nose as your body naturally cleanses (sneezing or blowing nose).It’s important that as soon as you ‘think’ you have a cold developing then you must start taking the spray, up to 3 doses per day (morning, afternoon and night). We all occasionally feel tingles in our nasal cavities, and it doesn’t always mean you’ve picked up a cold virus or indeed if it’ll develop into one. However, I recommend you don’t take the risk and don’t wait until you know for sure it’s the cold starting. You could end up wasting a couple of days, giving the virus more time to ‘bed-in’ and grow.The spray works best at preventing the cold if you use it immediately on suspicion.Once you start taking it, how many days do you take it for?That’s a good question, and it all depends. I’ve been using the spray on/off for 4/5 months now and find that you need to listen to your body, or rather your nose. This is going to sound gross; but if you can ‘pick’ solid matter with you finger from your nose, that’s usually a good sign that the virus has been expelled and you may stop taking the spray. But if you’re still using hankies or feeling tingles in your nose, it’s probably best to continue with the treatment.If in doubt, continue the treatment for a further day – just to be sure.The shortest time I’ve taken the spray for, when first feeling the cold symptoms is 4 days. The maximum time is two weeks.Depending on your luck? the spray will do one of two things:1) Stop the virus developing to any perilous level and eradicates it within 3-4 days. You will not develop the cold as the virus has been completely killed.2) The spray is unable to kill the virus completely but manages to contain it. With this, the spray effectively pauses the virus, preventing it from spreading/taking hold. You then become dependent on your body’s natural immune system destroying the virus which it will do naturally in two weeks or so.Clearly option 1) would be the most desirable, but if it ends up being option 2) then I urge you to be patient and continue taking the spray. If you give up taking the spray after a week (before your body has had a chance to fight and kill off the virus) THEN it WILL take hold, developing into a full cold, and you’ll need to wait a FURTHER two weeks at least for your body to fight it. I believe this is what a lot of people are reporting on the reviews: they have become frustrated, impatient they need to take the spray for longer than they were expecting to.As I work in a job that involves being around a lot of people all the time, I’ve found that during the cold season (November to February) it’s a good idea to take a dosage when I arrive at work. In doing this it appears to prevent ANY virus from getting in at all. At the weekends, I don’t do this.If you’re like me and you HATE having the cold/sore throat then this spray is a godsend and definitely well worth the money. Although I’ve only been using it for 4/5 months I can say with confidence that the reason why I’ve not got a cold, despite being exposed to it at work continuously and the cold weather, is down to this spray.During the cold season I’ll never be without it now.

I was one of those annoying people who used get ill constantly and it lasts weeks each time.I thought I’d try this- it’s amazing stuff!My toddler comes home with so many illnesses and we would catch everything she brought home. Now though, one cough on us from her and we are sniffing this bad boy every 4 hours for 2-3 days and we have practically zero symptoms. I get a bit of fatigue and the ‘cold’ eyes but no bunged up nose, no disgusting phlegm no cough lasting weeks. It does make your nose sting- try not to put it up so far, you will get some mucous and a nasty taste for up to half a hour but I would much prefer this than be stuck going mad with a cold! Shame there isn’t one made for children as I feel sorry for her but I guess they have to have some ability to fight infection at a young age.

It seems to be effective, there is a small amount of a burning sensation but I get that with most nasal sprays

Have been using this for a while now. Really effective and easy to use. Makes your nose run for 15 minutes after use but far better than being unwell for days. Give it a go, you’ll be pleased you did!

My whole family had a cold just after Christmas which clung on for around ten days. I took Vicks First Defense within a couple of hours of getting the telltale scratchy throat and then took it four times per day. I had a stuffy nose the following day and then on day three my nose was runny. Then! Like magic! On day four the cold had completely disappeared! This spray undoubtedly worked. You have to use it four times per day and spray it diagonally towards your ear - do NOT spray it straight up your nostril. Also, breathe in gently, do NOT inhale! Yes, it is pretty uncomfortable for ten minutes with quick fire sneezing but stick with it and you'll be cold free before you know it.

I must admit, I was dubious as to how good or bad this was going to be. And I’m very happy to say it’s definitely helped me escape getting a full on cold/cough on two occasions so far. As soon as I felt the first signs of germs inside me, I was giving this spray a good test of its effectiveness. And so far so good! And I would definitely recommend you try this yourself!

I've used this a few times now, and it actually seems to work! Especially if taken as soon as you know you may be going down with a cold, or someone in your circle gets a cold to gleefully spread. I have asthma and everything goes to my chest, a basic cold can easily turn in to a chest infection, my youngest (adult) daughter gets ear infections almost every time she gets a cold/flu which has compromised her hearing to slight degree. So having something that helps to avoid the worst of the lurgies is a god send. If sprayed at the entrance to the nostril, and tilted towards the outer side of your nose the stinging is pretty minor or not evident, hold your nostrils closed and kind of press them together all the way up to spread the spray. I've had unpleasant stinging before, but today in a rush I just squirted it in to my nostrils, full depression no holding back. Jesus the agony in my right nostril, EYE, sinus and gum below the sinus. I thought I'd killed myself, shot through the brain with a cold remedy. Took half an hour to feel just unpleasant rather than claw at your face painful. I'll probably keep using it as not dying of a chest infection is cool. However I'm going to be a damn sight more careful. I might even try soaking a cotton wool bud with it and just dabbing around the lower half of my nostrils - gross I know.

Constantly working around many people, colds can be an issue - particularly in the winter months!Now, I guess there’s always a chance of a ‘false positive’ - thinking you have a cold coming on when there isn’t - but I’ve been a frequent user of this for a while and do think that my incidents of cold when I’m using the product have decreased which is amazing!It’s not necessarily a cheap product - nor too expensive - but is worth its weight in gold when it stops a cold in its tracks and probably saves an equivalent amount in cold and flu products.It feels like it freshens up your nose with a pleasant smell.Overall, I feel that this product is very effective at stopping a cold in its tracks and I always keep one in my pocket and at home at the ready!

This really worked for me! I had gone to a butterfly conservatory and a million kids were there too. The next day, I woke up with a cold in my throat that I hoped would go away by mid-morning as I can sometimes fight it off. However, the cold was getting stronger and by noon I decided to use the Vicks First Defence. You can definitely tell it's Vics, I used it at 12:30pm, 4:30pm and 8:30pm, and then the cold was gone. I bought a separate one for my husband to use and he went to the cottage with his buddy and caught a cold on a Friday night and didn't bring the Vics. He finally used it on Sunday night and it didn't work for him. Don't wait until the 36 hour mark. Take the Vics with you if you go away to use a.s.a.p.

انصحكم بتجربته ومو اول مره اشتريه

HeyI bought this hoping it would clear sinuses from typical cold/flu.I found it dud little to nothing. Saline spray was much more effective.If you spray this too deep you’ll fall into a parallel universe where only pain is the currency; DO NOT INHALE DEEPLY WHEN YOU SPRAY.

Look the product does not claim to relieve cold symptoms once you have a cold but i have found if you spray at the first sign of thickening or scratchy throat at night in the morning its gone .it is also my go toWhen flying especially long haul with all the associated germs if it stings a bit at first it just means its acting on the germs

Do not sniff as you spray or it will burn your nose, but it works the best product I have ever bought for colds.Will buy again, good thing I seen the advertising on tv, I can't buy it in my local pharmacy and they can't order it.
