Strepsils Soothing Honey & Lemon Lozenges

Strepsils Soothing Honey & Lemon Lozenges is a honey and lemon flavoured oral lozenge containing amylmetacresol 0.6 mg and dichlorophenylcarbinol 1.2 mg per lozenge. The dosage form is designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth and is presented as a fixed-strength medicated lozenge. The flavouring and active-ingredient details should be checked against the current label.

The available dosing information makes this formulation suitable for adults and children over 6 years of age. A child should only take the lozenge when able to use the dosage form safely and when the age-specific directions are followed. People with known allergies or sensitivities to the active ingredients or other formulation components should check the ingredient list first.

Adults and children over 6 years: one lozenge every 2–3 hours as required; maximum 12 lozenges in 24 hours. Follow the product instructions for the route and timing, and use an appropriate measuring or dosing method. Do not exceed the stated pack instructions, and do not double a missed dose.

Adults and children over 6 years: one lozenge every 2–3 hours as required; maximum 12 lozenges in 24 hours. Do not exceed the stated pack maximum.

Use the product before the expiry date printed on the current packaging. Do not use it after expiry or when the packaging or dosage form has been compromised.
