What is Strepsils Orange with Vitamin C?
Strepsils Orange with Vitamin C 100mg is a medicated lozenge designed to provide soothing relief from sore throats and minor mouth irritations. It is a dual-action antiseptic treatment that helps fight the bacteria causing throat infections while providing a boost of Vitamin C.
Key Benefits and Ingredients
These lozenges are formulated with two primary antiseptic agents: 2,4-Dichlorobenzyl alcohol and Amylmetacresol. Together, they work to reduce the bacterial load in the throat, providing fast-acting relief from discomfort.
This specific variant also contains 100mg of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid and Sodium Ascorbate). Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that helps support your immune system, especially when your body is fighting off a cold or throat infection.
How to use Strepsils Orange
For the best results, Strepsils should be dissolved slowly in the mouth. This ensures that the antiseptic ingredients have prolonged contact with the affected areas in the throat and mouth.
- Adults and Children (6 years and older): Dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth every 2 to 3 hours.
- Maximum Dosage: Do not take more than 12 lozenges in a 24-hour period.
- Children under 6 years: This product is not recommended for young children due to the risk of choking.
Precautions and Side Effects
While Strepsils is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects such as tongue soreness or mild digestive upset. If symptoms persist for more than 2 days or are accompanied by a high fever, headache, or nausea, please consult a healthcare professional.
