Strepsils FAQs

How do Strepsils lozenges work?

Strepsils lozenges typically contain two mild antiseptic agents, amylmetacresol and 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol. These ingredients work together to help fight the bacteria and viruses that can cause sore throats, while also providing a soothing effect on the irritated throat.

How often can I take Strepsils?

The recommended dosage for Strepsils can vary depending on the specific product. Generally, adults and children over 6 years can take one lozenge every 2 to 3 hours as needed. It's important not to exceed the stated dose on the packaging and to consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen.

Are there different types of Strepsils for different symptoms?

Yes, Strepsils offers a range of lozenges tailored to different symptoms. For instance, some provide extra pain relief, others combine relief for sore throats and coughs, and there are options with added Vitamin C or specific soothing ingredients like honey and lemon. Always check the product packaging to find the most suitable option for your symptoms.

Can Strepsils cure a sore throat?

Strepsils lozenges are designed to relieve the symptoms of a sore throat by providing soothing comfort and helping to fight throat infections. While they can significantly ease discomfort, they primarily manage symptoms rather than offering a 'cure'. If your sore throat is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it's advisable to seek professional medical advice.
