Strepsils Lozenges Ginger & Lemon

Symptomatic relief of sore throat, throat irritation and pain; relief of minor mouth/throat infections associated with cold and flu

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.

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.

Mouth or throat irritation, nausea, stomach upset, altered taste, allergic reactions (rash/itching/swelling)

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).

No clinically significant interactions expected due to local action; avoid concurrent use with other topical antiseptics/anaesthetics for throat unless advised by a doctor.

Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep at room temperature and out of reach of children.
