Strepsils are throat lozenges that contain cough suppressants and anti-inflammatory ingredients and can be used to relieve sore throats and coughs. This medication is commonly used to treat minor coughs and sore throats, such as those caused by the common cold or strep throat. The main ingredients in Strepsils typically include bromhexine and salicylic acid, which help reduce symptoms and promote throat soothing. To use, simply hold one Strepsils tablet in your mouth and take it every few hours. During the use of Strepsils, you should avoid eating or drinking to ensure that the medicine effectively contacts the throat. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice. In Hong Kong, Strepsils are a common type of throat lozenges that can be purchased at pharmacies or supermarkets. Please read the instructions before using any medicine and use it as directed.
Directions: Place one Strepsils in your mouth and allow to dissolve slowly without chewing or swallowing. A maximum of 8 capsules may be used daily, with at least 2 hours between each use. It can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to be taken 30 minutes after a meal. Avoid hot drinks and citrus foods as they may affect the effectiveness of the medication.
