Strepsils

Choosing a Strepsils product

The standard lozenges soothe and help with minor throat infections, "Extra" adds a stronger soothing action, and the "Plus" range contains a local anaesthetic to numb throat pain. The Plus Throat Spray targets the sore area directly. Pick the flavour and strength you prefer, and check the pack for age suitability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Strepsils and Strepsils Plus?

Strepsils Plus contains a local anaesthetic to numb throat pain in addition to the antibacterial action, making it a good choice for a more painful throat.

How many can I take?

Follow the dosing on the pack — there is a maximum number of lozenges per day. Do not exceed it, and note age limits on the anaesthetic-containing products.

When should I see a doctor?

See your GP if your sore throat is severe, lasts more than a week, or comes with a high fever or difficulty swallowing.
