associated with mouth and throat infections and also acts as a local anaesthetic
to numb the pain associated with a sore throat. Sucking the lozenge slowly in the
mouth helps to lubricate and soothe the discomfort of the painful area in the
throat, and also releases the active ingredient to help relieve the soreness and
discomfort of mouth and throat infections.
