Strepsils Lozenges Original - Pack of 16

Strepsils Lozenges Original – Pack of 16 are medicated throat lozenges designed to provide effective relief from sore throats and help fight bacterial infections of the mouth and throat.

Each lozenge contains a dual-action antiseptic formulation that works locally in the throat to help kill bacteria that can cause soreness and irritation. As the lozenge dissolves slowly in the mouth, the active ingredients are released directly where they are needed, providing targeted relief while soothing the throat.
