Strepsils are throat lozenges containing antitussive and anti-inflammatory ingredients that can be used to relieve sore throats and coughs. This medication is usually used to treat minor coughs and sore throats, such as those caused by a cold or strep throat. The main ingredients in Strepsils usually include bromhexine and salicylic acid, which help reduce symptoms and promote throat relief. To use, simply hold one tablet of Strepsils in your mouth and take it every few hours. While using Strepsils, you should avoid eating, drinking, or drinking to ensure effective contact of the medication with your 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.
How to use: Hold one Strepsils in your mouth and allow it to dissolve slowly without chewing or swallowing. A maximum of 8 pills can be used daily, with an interval of at least 2 hours. It can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to wait 30 minutes after a meal. Avoid hot drinks or citrus foods as they may affect the effectiveness of the medicine.
Dosage Guidelines: Adults and adolescents over 12 years old use 1 pill at a time, up to 8 pills per day. Children 6 to 12 years old take 1/2 pill each time, up to 4 pills daily. Children aged 4 to 6 years old should take 1/3 pill at a time, up to 3 pills per day. Children 2 to 4 years old should take 1/4 pill each time, up to 2 pills daily. Young children under 2 years old should consult a doctor. If symptoms persist for more than 3 days or worsen, seek medical assistance. Dosage may be adjusted based on individual needs and severity of symptoms, but the maximum daily dose should not be exceeded.
STREPSILS is a commonly used cough syrup, but side effects may occur when used. Some people may experience dry mouth, dizziness, nausea or diarrhea after taking it.
