These are brilliant for sore throats or if you feel a sore throat starting, they contain a mild Anesthetic to numb the pain and a mild Antibiotic to fight infection, they are available in most chemist in packs of 24 from around €3.45 and IMO are more affective that some leading brands lozenges at twice the price also these are suitable for children over 3 which is great as my kids have no problem sucking these, only one lozenge every 3 hours, adults maximum of 8 in any 24hr period and children maximum of 6 but I found I only ever needed a couple in any one day when I’ve used them so there’s always some left at hand, brilliant value. Please read enclosed instructions in packet for any further medical info
