Strepsils Honey and Lemon Soothing Effective Relief Lozenges for Sore Throats, 24 Lozenges

Strepsils Honey & Lemon Soothing Effective Relief Lozenges are a medicated OTC antiseptic throat lozenge in a pack of 24. Each lozenge contains two confirmed antibacterial actives, 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol 1.2mg and amylmetacresol 600mcg, which work together to reduce the bacteria responsible for sore throats and mouth infections. The honey and lemon flavoring adds genuine soothing comfort alongside the antiseptic action as each lozenge dissolves slowly in the mouth.

Benefits

• The combination of two antiseptic actives, DCBA and amylmetacresol, targets the bacteria that can cause sore throat and mouth infections, so you are addressing the source of the problem rather than just coating over the discomfort
• Because the active ingredients are released locally as the lozenge dissolves slowly in the mouth, they reach the affected throat tissue directly and continuously throughout each dose
• The honey in the formulation has a natural demulcent effect, coating and lubricating the throat surface and reducing the rawness and friction that makes sore throats uncomfortable to swallow through
• The honey and lemon flavor combination is familiar and genuinely pleasant, which makes it easier to take consistently when symptoms require regular dosing throughout the day
• The lozenge format requires no water and produces no mess, so it can be used discreetly at work, during travel, or at any point when other medicines would be impractical
• A 24-lozenge pack provides enough supply for a full sore throat episode at the recommended dosing frequency, without needing to reorder mid-course

How to use

• Adults, the elderly, and children aged 6 years and above: dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth every 2 to 3 hours as required.
• Do not chew or swallow the lozenge whole - slow dissolution is necessary for the active ingredients to reach the throat tissue.
• Do not take more than 12 lozenges in any 24-hour period.
• Do not give to children under 6 years of age.
• If symptoms persist for more than 3 to 4 days, or worsen, or are accompanied by high fever, rash, or difficulty swallowing, consult a healthcare professional.
• Store below 25 degrees C in a cool, dry place in the original packaging.
