Mr. Throat Extra Strong & Sugar Free Drops (Honey Flavour)

Mr. Throat Extra Strong & Sugar Free Drops (Honey Flavour) is a sugar-free confectionery lozenge made by Jase Healthcare, sold in pack sizes of 10s and 120s through DoctorOnCall Malaysia. It belongs to the same Mr. Throat range as the Extra Mint & Cool Passion Drops, and is distinguished by its honey flavour, stronger menthol profile, and the absence of added sugar.

The lozenge combines honey extract, menthol, eucalyptus oil, herbal extracts, and natural flavourings in a sugar-free base, giving it a pronounced honey taste alongside a strong cooling sensation. Like the other lozenges in this range, each drop is individually wrapped and dissolves slowly in the mouth.

Being sugar-free, this variant is formulated differently from Mr. Throat Extra Mint & Cool Passion Drops (Fruit Flavour), which contains sugar and glucose syrup; sugar-free sweeteners are used here instead, though the manufacturer does not disclose the specific bulking sweetener used. As with other confectionery lozenges, it is sold as an over-the-counter item and does not require a doctor’s prescription.

• Unwrap one lozenge and place it in the mouth.
• Let it dissolve slowly without chewing or biting it.
• Repeat as needed, spacing lozenges a few hours apart.

As a confectionery lozenge rather than a medicated product, Mr. Throat Extra Strong & Sugar Free Drops (Honey 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, up to an informal limit of around 6 to 8 lozenges within a 24-hour period, allowing each one to dissolve fully before taking the next. Children under 6 years old should only use it with adult supervision, and this product is not intended for infants under 1 year old because of its honey content.

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 strong cooling or tingling sensation in the mouth and throat from the menthol content.
• Common: Mild stomach discomfort if several lozenges are taken in quick succession.
• Serious: An allergic reaction to honey, herbal extracts, or other ingredients, such as swelling of the lips or throat, or difficulty breathing, which needs urgent medical attention if it occurs.

• Known allergy to honey, bee products, menthol, eucalyptus oil, or any other listed ingredient.
• Infants under 1 year old, because of the risk of infant botulism associated with honey-containing products.
• Children under 6 years old, because of the choking hazard posed by small, hard lozenges.

• No clinically significant drug interactions have been documented for this confectionery lozenge.
• No specific food interactions are known, though using several menthol-containing products (lozenges, rubs, or sprays) at the same time may increase total menthol intake.
• The sugar-free sweeteners used in this type of product can have a mild laxative effect in some people if consumed in large amounts, so moderate intake is advisable.

• Keep a pack within reach in your bag, car, or desk for convenient access.
• Let each lozenge dissolve fully rather than chewing it, so it lasts longer.
• Reseal the pack tightly after use to keep the remaining lozenges fresh.
• Check the ingredient list first if you or your child has a known allergy to honey or herbal extracts.
• Do not give honey-containing lozenges to infants under 1 year old.
• Remember this variant is sugar-free, unlike the Extra Mint & Cool Passion Drops (Fruit Flavour) in the same range.

Precautions: This is a confectionery lozenge rather than a medicine. Do not give it to infants under 1 year old because it contains honey, and keep it out of reach of young children because of the choking risk from small, hard sweets. Check the ingredient list first if you or your child has a known allergy to honey, menthol, or eucalyptus.

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.
