Strepsils Orange with Vitamin C provide more than just soothing relief, each lozenge has a boost of 100mg of vitamin C, which will help replace the vitamin C you may lose during a cold. Each lozenge also contains a combination of two antiseptics (2, 4-Dichlorobenzyl alcohol 1.2mg, Amylmetacresol 0.6mg) to relieve the discomfort of sore throats in orange flavor. They relieve the pain of sore throat fast (within 5 minutes) from the first signs and continue working long after the lozenges has gone, for up to 2 hours. Dose: Adults and children 6 years and over : Dissolve one lozenge in the mouth every 2 to 3 hours.
