Strepsils Menthol Lozenges
Strepsils Menthol Lozenges provide symptomatic relief of mouth and throat infections in adults, the elderly and children over 12 years old. The two active ingredients are both mild antiseptics which kill the bacteria associated with mouth and throat infections. The action of sucking the lozenge allows these ingredients to work in the area of the discomfort and also helps lubricate and soothe the painful area, helping to relieve the soreness and discomfort of mouth and throat infections.
