Strepsils Honey & Lemon Lozenges (24)

Product Summary

Strepsils Honey & Lemon Lozenges contain two antiseptic ingredients for the symptomatic relief of mouth and throat infections.

These ingredients are both mild antiseptics which kill the bacteria associated with mouth and throat infections.

The action of sucking the lozenge allows the active ingredients to work in the area of the discomfort and also helps lubricate and soothe the painful area.
