The key point when using lozenges like these is dissolving them slowly rather than chewing them. It is when the sweet dissolves gradually that the plant extracts are released evenly and stay in contact with the lining of the mouth and throat for longer. If you chew the lozenge, this effect is lost.
A few practical tips:
- Do not wash the lozenge down straight away with water or a hot drink — let it dissolve completely so that the components have time to work.
- Adults are advised to take one boiled sweet three times a day after meals.
- Store the sweets in a dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat: the sugar base is sensitive to moisture and high temperatures, which can make the lozenges stick together.
The product is not a medicine and is not intended to treat throat conditions. If symptoms persist or get worse, you should see a doctor.
