Frequently Asked Questions About Strepsils lozenge
What does a Strepsils lozenge do?
A Strepsils lozenge is used for temporary relief of a sore or irritated throat. It dissolves slowly in the mouth and can soothe discomfort, but it does not treat the underlying cause of the sore throat.
How do you take a Strepsils lozenge?
Let a Strepsils lozenge dissolve slowly in your mouth rather than chewing it or swallowing it whole. Follow the directions on your pack, since instructions can differ between Strepsils formulations.
How often can you take a Strepsils lozenge?
The recommended interval for a Strepsils lozenge depends on the specific formulation and its local packaging. Follow the dose instructions on your pack and do not take extra lozenges sooner than directed.
Is a Strepsils lozenge an antibiotic?

What is Strepsils lozenge?
A Strepsils lozenge is a packaged throat lozenge meant to dissolve slowly in the mouth. The ingredients can vary by product type, but nutritionally it is a sugar-containing confection rather than a snack with much food value. It is generally used when the throat feels uncomfortable; follow the directions on the pack and let it dissolve rather than chewing it.
In many countries, people keep lozenges at home or carry them for use during the day, and they may be taken alongside a warm drink. Keep in mind that they still contribute sugar: per 100 g, Strepsils lozenges provide 97 g of carbohydrate, with no protein, fat or fibre. They are not a substitute for a meal, and may be less suitable if you are limiting sugary foods.
