Vicks

Vicks est une entreprise américaine de médicaments en vente libre, filiale de Procter & Gamble. Vicks fabrique le NyQuil et le DayQuil, mais également des médicaments pour la toux comme des pastilles, le VapoRub et d'autres traitements dont le mode d'administration est l'inhalation.

À l'origine, les produits Vicks étaient fabriqués par la société familiale Richardson-Vicks, Inc. basée à Greensboro en Caroline du Nord. En 1985, l'entreprise a été cédée à Procter & Gamble.

La marque a été vendue pour le marché japonais à Taisho Pharmaceutical en mai 2002. Dans les pays germanophones, le nom Vicks a été changé en Wick afin d'éviter une connotation sexuelle.
