Strepsils Honey And Lemon Lozenges

Strepsils Honey And Lemon Lozenges

Description:

Strepsils Honey And Lemon Lozenges are medicated throat lozenges formulated to provide fast, soothing relief from sore throat and mouth infections. Each lozenge contains a combination of two antiseptic agents, dichlorobenzyl alcohol and amylmetacresol, which help kill bacteria and microorganisms that can cause throat discomfort, irritation, and infection. The honey and lemon flavor offers a pleasant, comforting taste while helping to soothe dry, scratchy throats. This product is classified as an over-the-counter medicine for short-term relief of sore throat symptoms and minor mouth and throat infections.

Indications:

• Symptomatic relief of sore throat
• Relief from pain, irritation, and discomfort in the throat
• Supportive treatment in minor mouth and throat infections caused by bacteria
• Soothing of dry, scratchy, or inflamed throat associated with common cold or flu
• Helps reduce discomfort during swallowing due to mild throat inflammation

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol (also referred to as dichlorophenylcarbinol) – 1.2 mg per lozenge (antiseptic)
• Amylmetacresol – 0.6 mg per lozenge (antiseptic)
• Honey and lemon flavoring – for soothing taste and comfort (exact concentration not specified)
• Other excipients: may include sugars (such as sucrose, glucose), flavorings, colorants, and stabilizers (full excipient list not available in the provided information)

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use for short-term relief only. If symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by high fever, headache, rash, or persistent cough, consult a doctor.
