Strepsils Extra Triple Action Blackcurrant Lozenges are a specialized, medicinal throat treatment formulated to deliver fast, powerful relief from painful, swollen sore throats. Unlike standard confectionery lozenges, this advanced formula combines targeted antiseptic action with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) to soothe discomfort and reduce underlying throat inflammation.
This medicinal throat treatment is recommended for the fast, short-term relief of severe sore throat symptoms associated with:
Acute pharyngitis, colds, and flu
Swollen, red, and inflamed throat tissues
Difficulty swallowing and localized scratchy throat pain
Minor mouth and throat irritations
Each medicated lozenge contains a powerful active formulation:
Hexylresorcinol (2.4mg): A dual-action active ingredient that acts as a mild local anesthetic to numb sharp pain while providing local antiseptic properties to fight bacteria in the throat.
Soothe & Relief Action: Blended with a pleasant blackcurrant flavor to provide immediate comfort, pleasant taste, and gentle lubrication upon dissolving. (Note: Depending on regional manufacturing formulations, Strepsils Extra variants utilize active throat-numbing/antiseptic complexes designed to relieve severe sore throat pain.)
Consult Your Pharmacist: If you have a history of stomach ulcers, asthma, severe heart conditions, or allergies to NSAIDs and local anesthetics, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.
Usage Duration: This product is intended for short-term symptom relief. Do not use continuously for more than 3 days without seeking professional medical advice.
Standard Adult & Child Dosing (6+ years):
Dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth every 2 to 3 hours as required.
Important Dosage Limits:
Move the lozenge around your mouth as it dissolves to prevent localized irritation.
Do not exceed the maximum recommended daily limit (typically no more than 8 lozenges in a 24-hour period).
While generally well-tolerated when used as directed, rare potential side effects can include:
Mild localized tongue or mouth irritation, numbness, or tingling
Mild gastrointestinal discomfort or nausea in sensitive individuals
Store below 25°C or 30°C in a dry place, away from direct heat, moisture, and sunlight.
Keep blister packs sealed inside the original outer carton.
Keep strictly out of reach and sight of children.
While regular Strepsils focus on antiseptic lubrication, Strepsils Extra variants contain specialized active ingredients (such as hexylresorcinol) designed to provide deeper localized anesthetic numbing to tackle severe, painful sore throats more aggressively.
Strepsils Extra is generally suitable for adults and children over the age of 6 years, provided they can safely suck on a lozenge without a choking risk. Always supervise children while using throat lozenges.
