Treatment Details

What is Strepsils?
Strepsils Honey and Lemon is a popular over-the-counter lozenge designed to provide relief from sore throats and associated discomfort. Each lozenge contains antiseptic agents that help to fight throat infections and ease pain. The honey and lemon flavor makes them pleasant to use while providing soothing effects.
How does Strepsils work?
Strepsils lozenges contain two active ingredients, 2,4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol and Amylmetacresol, which have antiseptic properties. These agents work by killing bacteria and viruses that cause infections, reducing inflammation, and numbing the pain associated with a sore throat. The honey helps to soothe the irritated throat, while the lemon provides a refreshing taste.
