When you see a pack of Karvol Decongestant Capsules in the chemist
you would probably think that it is only for infants and small children
and who could blame you as the packaging is a bit on the mis-leading
side. When you look at the pack it shows a baby and a young girl
sleeping, with the words for children and babies from 3 months.If
you look a little
closer to all the information regarding dosage and uses it would
then be clear that it can be used for anyone over
the age of 3 months, yes that includes babies, children, adults and
the elderly.
What is it used for KARVOL PLUS
Well as the words on the pack state it is a decongestant. It is used
blocked up noses and congestion that are usually caused by the good
old common head cold. I am sure many of you have suffered this kind
of annoying yet common ailment and in return have had countless nights
where you have been so restless due to the pressure of nasal congestion,
head colds and that stuffy feeling you get with a blocked up nose.
This is where a pack of these come in really handy.
How do they work :What they do is release a natural vapour and when
inhaled it helps to clear away all that stuffiness of blocked up noses
and congestion.
Help you to breathe much more easily and comfortably.
How to use KARVOL PLUS
The capsules are a sort of latex material in an oval sort of shape
with a little bit at the end that you need to snip off to then release
the contents. Careful when snipping these as you may be aiming it in
someone's eye and if you are giving it a gentle squeeze with out realising
you may just cause someone a bit of discomfort if squirted in the eyes
or mouth.
KARVOL PLUS For babies and young children :
Once you have snipped then end of you then dab it onto a handkerchief
and fasten it near to the child but not where a child could get hold
of it. You should follow these guidelines for use during the day or
