Strepsils Intensive Honey & Lemon Lozenges
Strepsils Intensive Honey & Lemon lozenges are specially formulated for the relief of severe sore throat symptoms. Unlike standard antiseptic lozenges, the Intensive range contains Flurbiprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that targets the root cause of throat pain: inflammation.
If you are experiencing a painful, swollen, or inflamed throat that makes swallowing difficult, Strepsils Intensive provides effective, long-lasting relief for up to 4 hours.
Key Benefits
- Anti-Inflammatory Action: Contains 8.75mg of Flurbiprofen to reduce swelling and inflammation in the throat.
- Fast & Long-Lasting: Starts working quickly and provides relief for up to 4 hours.
- Targeted Relief: Lozenges dissolve in the mouth to deliver medication directly to the affected area.
- Pleasant Flavor: Soothing honey and lemon taste.
Difference Between Strepsils Intensive and Regular Strepsils
While regular Strepsils contain antiseptics (Amylmetacresol and 2,4-Dichlorobenzyl alcohol) to kill bacteria, Strepsils Intensive contains Flurbiprofen. This makes it more suitable for severe sore throats where inflammation and significant pain are the primary concerns.
How to Use Strepsils Intensive
- Adults and children over 12 years: One lozenge should be sucked/dissolved slowly in the mouth every 3 to 6 hours as needed.
- Maximum Dosage: Do not exceed 5 lozenges in any 24-hour period.
- Duration: Do not use for more than 3 days.
If symptoms persist or if you have underlying conditions like stomach ulcers or asthma, please consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor before use.
Side Effects
Some users may experience a temporary "pepperish" or tingling sensation in the mouth. As with all NSAIDs, it should be used with caution if you have a history of gastrointestinal issues.
