Strepsils Extra Triple Action Lozenges 24

What is Strepsils Extra Triple Action Lozenges 24?

Medicated lozenges, in blackcurrant, cherry or honey & lemon flavour, for the relief of sore throat and the pain that comes with it.

How does it help?

Each lozenge contains hexylresorcinol 2.4mg. As the lozenge dissolves slowly in the mouth it works as a local anaesthetic, numbing the surface of the throat so swallowing is less painful, and as an antiseptic against bacteria in the mouth and throat.

Key benefits

• Numbs the throat as well as acting as an antiseptic
• Can be used by adults and children from 6 years
• One lozenge every three hours, up to 12 in 24 hours
• 24 lozenges in a pack, easy to carry for the day

Who should take care?

Always read the patient information leaflet before use. Not to be given to children under 6 years. Do not take more than 12 lozenges in 24 hours. Do not use if you have ever had an allergic reaction to hexylresorcinol or to any other ingredient. The lozenges contain sugars and sulphites, and are not suitable if you have hereditary fructose intolerance or glucose-galactose malabsorption. They contain a very low level of gluten (from wheat starch) - regarded as gluten-free and very unlikely to cause problems in coeliac disease - but do not take them if you have a wheat allergy. See your doctor if your sore throat lasts more than three days, or sooner if you have a high temperature, a rash, or difficulty breathing or swallowing. Our pharmacist is happy to check this is the right choice for you.
