Shop MacKenzies at withaid, a UK based and regulated pharmacy. This brand page is for customers looking to buy MacKenzies smelling salts online—most commonly the MacKenzies Smelling Salts 17ml bottle—alongside trusted categories for head-cold and seasonal symptom support. If you’re comparing options, start by choosing your main symptom (for example: blocked nose/congestion, sore throat, or cough type) and then browse the most relevant category for your preferred format.
MacKenzies is a traditional, compact smelling salts format that many shoppers choose for convenience and easy storage. Because cold and allergy products can overlap (and some remedies contain similar active ingredients), it’s important to read labels carefully and avoid doubling up. If you’re not sure what’s suitable—especially if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, have a long-term condition (such as asthma), take regular medicines, or you’re buying for a child—our pharmacists can help you choose appropriately.
