When is it most convenient to use these lozenges — are there situations they suit best?

The advantage of the lozenge format is that it needs no water, no spoon and no special storage conditions. This makes the product practical in several typical situations.

• On the road and when travelling. The pack is compact; the lozenges need no fridge and take up no room in your bag.
• At work. When you cannot brew a cup of tea with honey or linden, a lozenge gives you similar plant ingredients in a convenient form.
• Out walking in the colder months. The conifer-and-honey flavour and the soothing properties of honey are especially sought after in autumn and winter.
• At home in the cool season. As an alternative to syrups and sprays for those who prefer a more familiar, less 'pharmacy-like' format.

The product is designed to be dissolved slowly in the mouth — that way the ingredients have the fullest contact with the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat. Chewing the lozenges is not recommended: it shortens the contact time and reduces the effect of the ingredients.

The lozenges are not a substitute for medicines. If throat or respiratory symptoms do not go away, see a doctor.
