Vicks First Defence is AMAZING! The only product to actually get rid of a cold. I have used this several times now and every time it has worked.
You're supposed to use it when you first feel the signs of a cold coming on, which you don't always know but I have used it mid way through a bad cold and it has cleared up. I've found I have had one bad day and then the next day my cold has dissappeared. It works by drawing the cold out of you quickly so you feel really lousy for a day but it's worth it so the cold doesn't drag on for days or even weeks!
Vicks First Defence makes no claim to cure colds, or to prevent them but it does claim to reduce the chance of developing a full blown cold by up to 50% if taken promptly at the first sign of symptoms and to cut symptoms by up to 40% but each time I have used it, it has worked better than this, it has cured my cold!!
It is a nasal spray which you use several times a day, this can be a bit uncomfortable when you have a sore nose and I find it can make me sneeze alot.
First Defence works by attacking the cold by physical rather than pharmacological means. It consists of a viscous gel that is sprayed into the nose. The gel is mildly acidic, which the viruses do not like as they prefer alkaline conditions, so they are partially inactivated. The spray also causes a mild nasal irritation to stimulate secretions to help to wash the virus away. Its jelly-like consistency tends to trap the viruses, so that they cannot lock on to receptors in the body's cells.
Although it comes in quite a small bottle, it lasts a long time and can be used on more than one cold.
It is quite expensive at £7 a bottle, but as it lasts and gets rid of a cold, it really is worth it! I would definately recommend this to anyone!!
