Vicks Nodoame Cough Drops (Pack of 6)
Japanese version of popular lozenges
Vicks is one of the most recognizable over-the-counter medication brands in the world and has been for around 130 years. Its history in Japan isn't so long, but it has been part of the market since the 1960s. Its signature triangular cough drops are available not only in drugstores but also convenience stores all over the country. If you are already one of Vicks' tens of millions of consumers and would like to see how the Japanese version tastes like, the Vicks Nodoame Cough Drops are the perfect way to try it out!
Like many other brands that want to establish their name in the Japanese market, Vicks's owner, Procter & Gamble, has collaborated with a local company, Taisho Pharmaceutical, a constant presence since 1912. Taisho's influence is probably the reason that besides the standard mint polyphenols, these cough drops also contain green tea polyphenols, which greatly increase the antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Get your six packs (with about 30 lozenges each) and deal with your next sore throat like you would if you were in Tokyo!
