These can include aniseed, honey & lemon, cherry, and sugar-free options. Each variety offers a unique taste experience while providing the signature strong relief.

Are Fisherman's Friend suitable for children?

Fisherman's Friend lozenges are generally not recommended for very young children due to their strong menthol content and the risk of choking. It's always best to check the product packaging for specific age recommendations, or consult with a pharmacist if you are unsure.
