Product Description

Karvol Plus is an over-the-counter (OTC) inhalation capsule. It is used to relieve nasal congestion and cold symptoms (commonly known as “colds in the head”). It contains a blend of aromatic ingredients, including menthol, terpineol, and chlorothymol. These ingredients release soothing vapors that act on the respiratory tract and help make breathing more comfortable when you have a blocked or congested nose.

This capsule is meant for inhalation only and should not be swallowed. In babies over 3 months and young children, the contents can be squeezed onto a handkerchief placed near (but out of reach of the child). For older children and adults, the contents may be sprinkled onto bedding or material (avoiding skin contact) or added to hot water (not boiling) for steam inhalation. Always use it as directed and handle it carefully, especially when using hot water.

Karvol capsule is generally well-tolerated when used as advised. However, avoid contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor. It is not recommended for children below 3 months of age and should not be taken internally.

Store below 25°C and keep out of reach of children. Always consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

FAQs

What is Karvol Plus used for?

Karvol Plus is used to help ease a blocked nose, stuffiness, and breathing discomfort caused by a cold. The vapors may also help provide a soothing feeling in the airways during congestion.

How does Karvol Plus work?

Some of the ingredients in Karvol Plus include menthol, camphor, eucalyptus oil, chlorothymol, terpineol, and eucalyptol. Menthol and camphor create a cooling feeling, which may make the nose feel clearer and more comfortable. Eucalyptus oil may help to loosen thick mucus and make breathing easier. Some ingredients also have mild anti-infective properties that support relief from cold-related congestion.

When and how should I take or use Karvol Plus?

Karvol Plus is meant only for inhalation and should never be swallowed. In babies above 3 months and young children, squeeze the contents onto a handkerchief or cloth placed nearby but out of reach. Older children and adults may sprinkle the contents onto bedding or clothing while avoiding direct skin contact. You may also add the contents to hot water, but not boiling water, for steam inhalation.

Can Karvol Plus interact with other medicines?

Major medicine interactions are not common with Karvol Plus, as it is generally used locally with inhalation. However, if you use multiple products that contain menthol or camphor together, you might increase the risk of irritation to your skin, nose, or throat.

What are the warning signs to watch for while using Karvol Plus?

If you experience symptoms such as skin rash, redness, itching, swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, or severe irritation or burning sensation in the nose and throat, it may be due to irritation or sensitivity to the ingredients. Karvol Plus capsules are for inhalation purposes only and should not be swallowed.

Is steam inhalation good for a cough?

Taking steam can help to loosen mucus and make the air passages feel more comfortable. This can help to relieve cough, nasal congestion, and dryness in the airways. Many people try steam inhalation during colds to help reduce throat irritation and a blocked nose.

Can Karvol Plus help relieve a blocked nose during sleep?

Karvol Plus may help reduce the feeling of nasal blockage during sleep by releasing soothing vapors that make breathing feel more comfortable. Many people use it at bedtime by sprinkling the contents on bedding or nearby cloth to help ease congestion caused by a cold or stuffy nose.

Is Karvol Plus safe for babies and young children with cold symptoms?

Karvol Plus may be used carefully in babies above 3 months and young children for relief from a blocked nose and congestion. Instead of direct application, the contents are usually placed on a cloth or handkerchief kept nearby and out of reach. Direct skin contact and swallowing should always be avoided.

What happens if Karvol Plus capsules are swallowed accidentally?

Karvol Plus capsules are for inhalation only and must not be swallowed. If swallowed accidentally, stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, or irritation may occur. In young children, swallowing camphor-containing products may be more harmful, so the capsules should always be kept out of reach. Consult your doctor if accidental intake occurs.
