Honey and Lemon 36 Lozenges

Good

As a secondary school teacher surrounded by germ-spreading teenagers all day, I'm constantly battling some sort of throat issue. After trying numerous remedies, these Honey Lemon Strepsils have become my absolute go-to. The honey lemon flavour is pleasant without being sickly sweet like some throat sweets. You can actually taste the honey rather than just artificial flavouring, which makes them much more palatable when you're taking them frequently. What sets these apart from regular throat sweets is how effectively they numb the pain. Within minutes of popping one in my mouth, that horrible razor-blade feeling starts to subside. The effect typically lasts about 40-50 minutes for me, which gets me through most of a teaching period without having to constantly sip water or struggle to project my voice. The pack of 36 is brilliant value compared to smaller packs. I keep one box in my desk drawer, one in my handbag, and one at home - essential preparation for winter term! The individual blister packaging keeps them hygienic and prevents them sticking together like some loose lozenges do. I particularly appreciate that they work for both viral and bacterial throat infections. During a particularly nasty bout of tonsillitis while waiting for antibiotics to kick in, these were the only thing that made swallowing bearable. One unexpected benefit is that they seem to help temporarily clear congestion too. Not sure if that's the menthol or something else, but it's a welcome bonus when you're dealing with a full-blown cold. Do they actually fight infections as claimed? Hard to say definitively, but I do find I recover faster when using these regularly at the first sign of throat discomfort versus trying to tough it out. Only downside is they're not suitable for young children, so can't share them with my 6-year-old when he's poorly. If you're prone to sore throats or work in an environment where you need your voice to function (teachers, call centre staff, etc.), these are honestly worth keeping on hand at all times. They've saved my lessons more times than I can count!

I find this brand of throat lozenge really helps.

I always like the taste of Honey and it helps with colds, the price could be lower.

Good product aways works for a sore throat or cough!

As someone who suffers from sore throats quite often, I’m usually not a fan of honey or lemon flavours—but the taste of these have completely won me over. They’re my go-to every single time I feel a sore throat coming on. What really sets them apart is how well they actually soothe your throat. Unlike other lozenges that only seem to work while you’re sucking them and then the discomfort comes straight back, these provide lasting relief even after they’re gone. The larger 36-pack is excellent value for money, and I always make sure to keep some stocked so I never run out. I’ve even started recommending them to anyone who mentions they’ve got a sore throat—they’re that good!
