• Dosage of Strepsils IntensiveFor Adults and Children over 12 years:
  • Dose: One lozenge sucked slowly every 3 to 6 hours as needed.
  • Maximum Dose: Do NOT exceed 5 lozenges in any 24-hour period.
  • Duration: Use for a maximum of 3 days.
• Proper Administration
  • Method: Place one lozenge in the mouth and allow it to dissolve slowly.
  • Movement: To avoid local irritation of the mouth lining, move the lozenge around the mouth as it dissolves rather than keeping it in one spot.
  • Do Not Chew: Do not swallow the lozenge whole or chew it, as the slow-release effect on the throat will be lost.
  • Timing: Can be used at any time of day, but is particularly effective before meals to make swallowing easier.
• How to Store and Dispose of Strepsils Intensive
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C. Keep in the original blister pack to protect from moisture.
  • Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of any unused lozenges in the household waste or return to a pharmacy.
• Quick Tips for Strepsils Intensive
  • Avoid "Double-Dosing": If you are already taking oral NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen or Naproxen), consult your pharmacist, as using them with Strepsils Intensive increases the risk of side effects.
  • Rest Your Voice: While the lozenge masks the pain, try to rest your throat by speaking less and avoiding irritants like smoke.
  • Hydration: Sip warm (not hot) fluids to keep the throat moist while the medication works.
