Description
Strepsils Dry Cough Berry Mint Flavour Lozenges, 8 Count, are medicated throat lozenges designed to provide effective relief from dry cough, throat irritation, and scratchiness. It combines soothing action with a pleasant berry mint taste, making it easier to use throughout the day. These lozenges work by coating and soothing the throat lining, helping reduce the urge to cough and easing discomfort caused by dryness. They are formulated to deliver targeted relief directly in the throat, unlike syrups that act systemically. The berry mint flavour offers a refreshing sensation while masking the medicinal taste, making it more palatable for regular use. Each lozenge is meant to be slowly dissolved in the mouth, allowing the active ingredients to act effectively over time.

Key Benefits
Strepsils Dry Cough Berry Mint Lozenges are specifically formulated to relieve non-productive, dry, and tickly coughs. They contain dextromethorphan, an active antitussive that acts directly on the cough centre in the brain to suppress the urge to cough, while simultaneously providing soothing sore throat relief.
Regular Strepsils primarily contain antibacterial agents (Amylmetacresol) to fight minor throat infections. In contrast, Strepsils for dry cough contain a cough suppressant (Dextromethorphan). This means they do more than just soothe pain; they actively stop the physical reflex of a dry, hacking cough.
Adults and children over 12 years old can take one lozenge every 2 to 3 hours as needed. However, you must not exceed a maximum of 12 lozenges in a single 24-hour period to avoid potential side effects.
No. If you have a chesty cough that produces mucus or phlegm, you should avoid antitussives (cough suppressants). Suppressing a wet cough traps mucus in the lungs. Choose an expectorant medicine instead and consult your doctor.
These specific dry cough relief lozenges are formulated for adults and children over the age of 12. They are not suitable for children under 12 years old due to the concentration of the active ingredient and the potential choking hazard of hard lozenges.
No, when taken at the recommended dosage, Strepsils Dry Cough lozenges are generally non-drowsy. They are designed to suppress your cough while allowing you to go about your daily routine safely.
Yes, these lozenges can be taken before bedtime to help suppress a persistent dry cough that may disrupt sleep. The antitussive ingredient, dextromethorphan, works to calm the cough reflex, allowing your throat to remain soothed and helping you rest more comfortably during the night.
As with all medications containing active pharmaceutical ingredients like dextromethorphan, pregnant or lactating women should consult their obstetrician or healthcare provider before consuming these lozenges to ensure complete safety.
Chewing or swallowing the lozenge is not dangerous, but it significantly reduces the product's effectiveness. The lozenge is designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth to bathe the throat lining with active ingredients for maximum sore throat relief.
You will typically begin to feel local throat soothing within minutes of the lozenge dissolving. The active cough suppressant effects usually begin working within 15 to 30 minutes, effectively calming throat irritation and the urge to cough.
