Triaminic Vapor Patch

[PrincessKsMom]

I know the US doesn't have these any longer, but any chance someone from Canada, the United Kingdom or elsewhere still has these available? I hate that they took these off the market. These have worked wonderfully for my DD and I'd love to get more. BTW, she's almost 14, so no chance of her eating them.

They have been recalled. I doubt you will be able to find them.

I know they've been recalled in the US but wasn't sure about elsewhere.

We loved them, too. They worked very well and my kids still ask for them when they are sick, and get frustrated when I say we don't have any. But I agree, you're probably not going to find them.

I use some that I buy in the natural/organic section. They are by Naturopatch Aromatherapy. The one for colds is great.

We make our own by putting some Vicks vaporub on a gauze pad and sticking it on the chest.

I thought it was probably going to be a futile attempt at finding them, but you never know.

I'll definitely check into the natural/organic store and also making them myself, if need be. I just hate how slimy it is when you put the Vicks on anything. The patches were wonderful. I really wish they'd bring them back.

I rub Vicks on DS all the time and he doesn't get slimy!! I'd try it with the gauze.

Not sure if the ingredients would be the same as the Triaminic Vapor Patch, but it appears the Theraflu makes a vapor patch.

If you don't like the gauze idea. Take a piece of flannel, and then safety pin it to her pjs. My grandma did this every night to me from age 5 till 16. Worked great.

I had no idea anyone else made them. Looks exactly the same, except Triaminic were cherry scented, but DD will have to deal with it. I'm definitely going to try to find these. Thanks to everyone. Such wonderful ideas and suggestions.
