Vicks Vapo-inhaler contains menthol & camphor and is otherwise non-medicated and safe in pregnancy. Don't confuse it with Vicks Inhaler which actually contains L-methamphetamine, the less-active mirror image of methamphetamine that is still a stimulant. Most Vicks decongestants contain stimulants that shouldn't be used in pregnancy and Vicks inhaler will screen positive for meth at delivery.
