Strepsils Extra Strength Cherry – 24 Lozenges

Strepsils Extra Strength Cherry – 24 Lozenges are medicated throat lozenges formulated to provide powerful relief from sore throat pain and help fight bacterial infections of the mouth and throat.

The extra strength formulation contains two proven antiseptic ingredients that work together to help kill bacteria responsible for sore throats. As each lozenge dissolves slowly in the mouth, the active ingredients are released directly to the affected area, delivering targeted relief while soothing irritation.

The cherry flavour provides a pleasant taste, making the lozenges easier to take when the throat is sore or inflamed. Suitable for adults and children aged 6 years and over, Strepsils Extra Strength is intended for short-term use.
