Mr. Throat Extra Mint & Cool Passion Drops (Fruit Flavour)

Mr. Throat Extra Mint & Cool Passion Drops (Fruit Flavour) is a confectionery lozenge made by Jase Healthcare, sold in pack sizes of 10s and 120s through DoctorOnCall Malaysia. It belongs to the Mr. Throat range of lozenges and is a sweet (confectionery) product rather than a registered medicine, built around a passion fruit flavour with a menthol cooling sensation.

Each lozenge combines menthol, eucalyptus oil, passion fruit extract, sugar and glucose syrup, and natural fruit flavours, giving it a sweet-tart passion fruit taste alongside a cooling mint sensation. It takes the form of an individually wrapped hard lozenge, designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth.

This fruit-flavoured, sugar-containing variant sits alongside Mr. Throat Extra Strong & Sugar Free Drops (Honey Flavour) in the same product range, which uses a honey flavour and no added sugar instead. As an over-the-counter confectionery item, it is available for purchase without a doctor’s prescription.

• Unwrap one lozenge and place it in the mouth.
• Allow it to dissolve slowly without chewing or biting it.
• Repeat as needed, spacing lozenges apart through the day.

As a confectionery lozenge rather than a medicated product, Mr. Throat Extra Mint & Cool Passion Drops (Fruit Flavour) does not have a clinically defined dose. For general guidance, adults and children above 6 years old may take one lozenge at a time, allowing it to dissolve fully before taking another, with an informal limit of around 5 to 6 lozenges within a 24-hour period given its sugar content. Children under 6 years old should only have this lozenge under adult supervision, because of the choking risk posed by small, hard lozenges.

Use before the expiry date printed on the individual wrapper or outer packaging. As with any confectionery product, flavour and texture are best within the stated shelf life; do not use a lozenge if its wrapper is damaged or if the product shows signs of melting, discolouration, or an unusual odour.

Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the pack tightly closed between uses to protect the lozenges from moisture, and keep it out of reach of young children because of the choking risk posed by hard lozenges.

• Common: A mild cooling or tingling sensation in the mouth and throat from the menthol content.
• Common: A temporary change in taste perception after use.
• Serious: An allergic reaction, such as swelling of the lips, mouth, or throat, or difficulty breathing, which needs urgent medical attention if it occurs.

• Known allergy or hypersensitivity to menthol, eucalyptus oil, passion fruit, or any other listed ingredient.
• Children under 6 years old, due to the choking hazard posed by small, hard lozenges.
• Individuals who have been advised to restrict sugar intake, such as some people with diabetes, unless a doctor or pharmacist has confirmed this product is suitable for them.

• No clinically significant drug interactions have been documented for this confectionery lozenge.
• As it contains sugar and glucose syrup, individuals monitoring their blood glucose should account for its sugar content alongside other food and medication intake.
• No specific food interactions are known; however, using several menthol-containing products (lozenges, rubs, or sprays) at the same time may increase total menthol intake.

• Keep a pack in your bag, car, or office drawer for convenient access.
• Let each lozenge dissolve fully in the mouth rather than chewing it, so it lasts longer.
• Close the wrapper or tin tightly after taking a lozenge to keep the rest fresh.
• Check the ingredient list first if you or your child has a known food allergy.
• Keep the pack away from heat sources such as a car dashboard, as lozenges can soften or melt.
• Note the sugar content if you are tracking your daily sugar intake.

Precautions: This is a confectionery lozenge rather than a medicine. Keep it out of reach of young children because of the choking risk from small, hard sweets, and take note of its sugar and glucose syrup content if you are watching your sugar intake. Check the ingredient list first if you or your child has a known allergy to menthol, eucalyptus, or passion fruit.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: If throat discomfort, hoarseness, or a cough lasts more than a few days, is accompanied by fever or difficulty swallowing or breathing, or keeps coming back, speak to a doctor or pharmacist rather than relying on a lozenge alone.
