I have been using this product for years and my ENT told me using this vicks sinex had destroyed the lining in my nose. I had surgery 4 weeks ago today and am still fighting infection. I called P&G about the recalll and though the bottles I have do not have the same batch # as their recall they would not confirm that they test each batch. They are wanting me to send them all the bottles I have and want my medical records. P&G would not even offer to refund me on all the bottles I will never use let alone even care that I just had surgery. Leviquin is the only antibiotic I am responding to and that is a awful drug in itself.

I had used Vicks Sinex Vapospray for little over a month when I heard about the recall. I have been sick for 2 weeks with infection. The infection settled in my inner ear and I am so dizzy I can’t walk very well. Dr. says it is my inner ear. Never been so sick in my 61 years. Been to emergency room twice, four other dr. visits also. Am now on steroids trying to help the dizziness. Has anyone else had any of these problems. I have always been very healthy and am so frustrated right here at Christmas can’t even drive to do my shopping. Could this nasal spray have caused my problem?

I have been using VapoSpray for 2 years. I have been sick with a sinus cold and bronchtis for 3 weeks. I am just know getting better. I wonder if that was form the spray? Has anyone had similar problems?

Ironically enough, I e-mailed vicks just last month10/17 about any adverse health affects vicks may cause…They e-mailed me back saying”none of our products are addictive!” I was at my Drs. office for a respriratory infection Thursday of last week. I hope the Vicks sinus spray isn’t the cause, since this “virus” is resistant to a lot of anti-biotics!

I have been using Vick’s Vapospray for years.I just finished a bottle of Vicks vapospray 4 hour and have a new 12 hour decongestant.It is not the ultra fine mist,but i had that before.I have had nasal problems for at least a year .I have had allergy tests and they were negative -How can you assure me that my nasal problems are not causd by your product ? since I buy whatever Vicks Sinex vapospray the store is carrying at the time

I have used Vicks products including the inhaler for relief of stuffy noses.No other product Ive tried gives me the relief that Vicks does. I understand if there is a temporary problem.But I sure hope it gets back on its feet and back to the product I “ve always looked to for relief . Im 58 years old and a 14 yr. Liver Transplant and Vicks products have never hurt me,so get back on the shelves Vicks.
