Experience cooling relief from a painful sore throat with Strepsils Menthol Lozenges Pack of 36. These trusted lozenges are formulated with two antiseptic ingredients to help tackle the cause of discomfort, leaving your mouth and throat feeling soothed and refreshed.

Description

Strepsils Menthol Lozenges Pack of 36 contain 2,4-Dichlorobenzyl alcohol and Amylmetacresol, two mild yet effective antiseptic ingredients. When dissolved slowly in your mouth, these active substances get straight to work, targeting the bacteria associated with common sore throat and mouth infections. The lozenge's soothing action also helps to lubricate the throat, providing comfort and easing the painful sensation.

Ideal for adults and children over 12 years old, Strepsils Menthol Lozenges Pack of 36 are a convenient way to manage those irritating cold and flu symptoms, helping you feel better faster. The familiar menthol flavour provides a refreshing sensation while delivering symptomatic relief.

How Strepsils Menthol Lozenges Work

The unique dual antiseptic formula in Strepsils Menthol Lozenges Pack of 36 helps to:

  • Kill Bacteria: The active ingredients are mild antiseptics that combat bacteria, which can contribute to sore throat and mouth infections.
  • Soothe Discomfort: The lozenge's action lubricates your throat, helping to reduce dryness and the raw, painful feeling often associated with a sore throat.
  • Provide Cooling Relief: Menthol offers an immediate refreshing and cooling sensation, making swallowing more comfortable.

For best results, allow the lozenge to dissolve slowly in your mouth. This ensures the active ingredients are released gradually, providing continuous relief and allowing them to work effectively where they are needed most.
