Dosage
The Vicks Digital Thermometer is easy to use. For an accurate reading, it is
recommended that several steps be taken. Firstly, for 15 minutes prior to use,
avoid eating or drinking any liquids, exercising, taking showers or baths, or
smoking. If the thermometer has been stored in a cool place, let it naturally
adjust to room temperatures. Disposable probe covers are provided with the
Vicks Digital Thermometer. If using these covers, place a cover on the probe
top each time the thermometer is used to help prevent contamination.
To use, simply press the on/off button to activate the thermometer. As the

and rectal use, please carefully read the instructions that accompany the

will beep when it is ready to read.

More Information
Why do you need to know your body temperature?
Bacterial or viral infections will often cause the body?s defensive cells to release proteins. These proteins act on the temperature regulating control centre of the body, causing body temperature to rise. This results in a fever, a temperature
different from normal body temperature. Certain illnesses produce high fevers
and must be treated with medication. Any variation in normal body temperature
may indicate an illness and your doctor should be consulted. The best method to determine an individual?s normal temperature is to use the thermometer when the person is feeling well. Record readings twice a day (early
morning and late afternoon) and take the average of the two temperatures.
How do you take the body temperature?
1. Mouth: The thermometer sensor is placed on the tongue with the mouth
closed around the thermometer.
2. Under the Arm: The thermometer is positioned in the armpit with the arm held
closely to the body keeping the thermometer in place.
3. Rectally: The thermometer sensor is placed into the rectum while the patient
lies on their stomach.
Medicines have benefits and some may have risks. Always read the label
carefully and use strictly as directed. If symptoms continue or you have
side effects consult your pharmacist or doctor immediately.
