Uses & Benefits
Symptomatic relief of sore throat, throat irritation and pain; relief of minor mouth/throat infections associated with cold and flu
How It Works
Amylmetacresol and 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol are local antiseptics with antimicrobial action in the mouth and throat. They help reduce microbial load and provide soothing relief, reducing soreness and irritation.
Directions for Use
Lozenge for oral use: dissolve slowly in the mouth; do not chew or swallow whole. Adults and children (typically ≥6 years): 1 lozenge every 2–3 hours as needed; do not exceed the maximum daily limit as per pack label. Use for short duration; consult a doctor if symptoms persist beyond 2–3 days or worsen.
Do not use if allergic to amylmetacresol, 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol or any excipients/flavours. Not recommended for young children who may choke (follow label age guidance). If fever, severe sore throat, difficulty swallowing/breathing, or symptoms persist, seek medical advice. Use with caution in diabetes if the lozenge contains sugar (check pack for sugar-free claim).
Drug Interactions
No clinically significant interactions expected due to local action; avoid concurrent use with other topical antiseptics/anaesthetics for throat unless advised by a doctor.
