What are lozenges?

Lozenges are often used to soothe a sore, dry, or irritated throat. They moisten the mucous membranes in the throat and can provide temporary relief from hoarseness or a sore throat.

When do you use lozenges?

Lozenges are suitable for:

• Sore throat due to a cold

• Hoarseness or voice strain

• A dry throat due to dry air or a lot of talking

• An irritated throat due to smoking or air pollution

How do lozenges work?

By slowly sucking on the lozenge, a protective layer is released that soothes the throat. Some lozenges also contain ingredients with a soothing or disinfecting effect.

Tip

Also, drink plenty of water and avoid smoking or clearing your throat. This helps the mucous membranes heal faster.
