Strepsils Intensive Honey & Lemon Lozenges 8.75 mg – 16 pcs | Fast Relief

Strepsils Intensive Lollipops with Honey and Lemon 8.75 mg – 16 pcs are medicated throat lozenges formulated to deliver fast, powerful relief from sore throats, throat irritation, swelling and painful swallowing. Each lozenge contains 8.75 mg of flurbiprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that combines analgesic (pain-relieving) and anti-inflammatory properties to help reduce throat pain and discomfort associated with upper respiratory inflamma­tion and infection. These honey and lemon lozenges are trusted by adults and children aged 12 years and older for symptomatic relief during colds, flu, and other respiratory episodes.

Strepsils Intensive offers a soothing honey and lemon flavor that helps mask the medicinal taste while providing comfort to the irritated throat. The formulation is specifically designed to address inflamed tissues, painful swelling and tenderness in the throat, delivering relief that can last for several hours with proper use.

How Strepsils Intensive Works

The key active ingredient in these lozenges is flurbiprofen, which belongs to a class of medicines known as NSAIDs. Flurbiprofen works by inhibiting the action of enzymes that contribute to inflammation and pain — particularly in the local tissues of the throat. When the lozenge dissolves slowly in the mouth, flurbiprofen is released directly where the irritation is most significant, helping to reduce throat pain, swelling and the sensation of rawness.

Unlike simple soothing candies or non-medicated pastilles, Strepsils Intensive combines analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions to manage both the pain and underlying inflammation of the throat. The honey and lemon components help make the experience more pleasant and soothing for the user.

What It’s Used For

Strepsils Intensive Lollipops are indicated for short-term symptomatic relief of:

• Sore throat pain

• Inflammation and swelling of throat tissues

• Painful or difficult swallowing

• Throat discomfort associated with colds, flu, or viral infections

• Tender, irritated throat linked to seasonal respiratory issues

These lozenges are often chosen when regular throat pastilles or antiseptic drops do not provide adequate pain or inflammation relief. They are especially useful when sufferers experience more intense pain and swelling that interferes with talking, eating, or swallowing comfortably.

Directions for Use

These lozenges are intended for oral use only. Adults and children aged 12 years and older should follow these guidelines:

1. Place one lozenge in the mouth and allow it to dissolve slowly.

2. Occasionally move the lozenge around the mouth during dissolution to enhance local action.

3. If needed, repeat every 3 to 6 hours.

4. Do not exceed 5 lozenges in any 24-hour period.

5. Limit use to a maximum of 3 days, unless a healthcare professional advises otherwise.

It’s important to avoid chewing or swallowing the lozenges whole, as this reduces their intended localized effect. The slow-dissolve method ensures that the active ingredient works directly on irritated throat tissues for optimal relief.

Safety and Precautions

Although Strepsils Intensive is effective in relieving pain and inflammation, its NSAID content requires attention to safety:

• Use is not recommended for children under 12 years due to limited safety data in younger age groups.

• Do not exceed the recommended dose or extend use beyond the suggested duration without consulting a healthcare provider.

• Individuals with a known allergy to flurbiprofen, other NSAIDs, or similar medications should avoid these lozenges.

• If symptoms persist, worsen, or new symptoms develop (e.g., high fever, rash), seek professional medical advice promptly.

• People with stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, severe liver or kidney disease, or a history of NSAID-related side effects should use caution or avoid use without doctor oversight.

Benefits and Key Features

• Fast-acting analgesic and anti-inflammatory relief for sore throat discomfort.

• Long-lasting effect that can provide relief for several hours with a single lozenge.

• Pleasant honey and lemon flavor for added throat comfort and taste.

• Easy, slow-dissolve lozenge format designed for direct action at the site of pain.

• Suitable for short-term use in adults and older children (≥ 12 years) when conventional soothing lozenges are not sufficient.

These qualities make Strepsils Intensive a convenient and effective choice for respiratory symptomatic relief during seasonal illness, endemic colds, or short-lived throat irritation episodes.

When to See a Doctor

If symptoms such as pain, swelling, difficulty swallowing, or fever persist beyond 3 days, or if you experience severe discomfort, shortness of breath, or swelling of the neck, consult a healthcare professional immediately. These may indicate a more serious underlying condition requiring medical attention.
