Active ingredients commonly found in Vicks Acta Plus formulations include an expectorant and a cough suppressant to target both productive and non-productive coughs. Typical components and excipients may include:

• Active ingredients: expectorant (to loosen mucus) and antitussive (to reduce cough reflex). Exact active ingredients and concentrations vary by market—always check the product label for the confirmed formulation.
• Excipients: purified water, sweeteners (eg. sucrose or sorbitol), glycerol, preservatives (eg. sodium benzoate), natural soothing agents such as menthol or honey-flavored bases.
• Packaging: 200ml amber bottle with child-resistant cap to protect product integrity and ensure safe storage.

Note: Ingredients can differ by country and batch. Always read the printed label and patient leaflet before use.
