Do ANTIPOLITSAI lozenges completely remove the smell of alcohol, or do they just mask it?

It is important to understand how they actually work: these lozenges mask strong odours rather than removing their cause. The smell of alcohol, tobacco or food does not come only from the mouth — part of it comes from the lungs as you breathe, and a lozenge cannot do anything about that.

The refreshing effect here comes from aromatic and soothing ingredients: eucalyptus oil gives a noticeable freshness and helps cover up strong food and tobacco notes, liquorice root adds a mild, coating taste, and ammonium chloride reinforces the characteristic “pharmacy” profile and makes the refreshing sensation more pronounced.

So think of the product as a quick way to make your breath more neutral for a while — for example, before a meeting or after a festive meal — and not as something that “neutralises” alcohol. It is not a medicinal product and has no effect on processes inside the body. The effect lasts while the lozenge is dissolving and for a while afterwards, but then it wears off.
