Strepsils Intensive 16 Lozenges: Fast Relief for Severe Sore Throat
Strepsils Intensive is a powerful medicated lozenge designed for the rapid relief of severe sore throat pain. Unlike standard lozenges that only soothe the throat, Strepsils Intensive contains an anti-inflammatory ingredient that targets the source of the pain and swelling.
How Strepsils Intensive Works
The active ingredient in Strepsils Intensive is Flurbiprofen (8.75mg). This is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works directly at the site of the infection to reduce inflammation, which is the primary cause of throat pain and difficulty swallowing.
Key Benefits
- Triple Action: Relieves pain, reduces swelling, and fights inflammation.
- Fast-Acting: Starts working in minutes to provide comfort.
- Long-Lasting: One lozenge provides relief for up to 4 hours.
- Convenient: Easy-to-carry blister pack of 16 lozenges for use on the go.
Dosage and Administration
For adults and children over 12 years:
- Dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth every 3 to 6 hours as needed.
- Important: Do not take more than 5 lozenges in any 24-hour period.
- Do not chew or swallow the lozenge whole; let it dissolve completely.
- Do not use for more than 3 consecutive days without consulting a doctor.
