Strepsils Orange with Vitamin C 100mg – 36 Lozenges

Strepsils Orange with Vitamin C 100 mg – 36 Lozenges are medicated throat lozenges formulated to provide effective relief from sore throat pain while helping to 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. In addition, each lozenge provides 100 mg of vitamin C, which contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

As the lozenge dissolves slowly in the mouth, the active ingredients are released directly to the affected area, providing targeted relief, while the orange flavour offers a pleasant, refreshing taste. The 36-lozenge pack is ideal for longer-lasting use during colds or throat discomfort.
