Drill Sugar-Free Sore Throat lozenges soothe mild sore throats and heal small mouth sores. A gentle, effective formula for adults and children aged 6 and over.
Drill sugar-free lozenges are an effective and practical solution for relieving minor discomforts in the throat and mouth. Specially designed for adults and children aged 6 and over, they combine a unique dual action: anaesthetizing pain and neutralizing bacteria.
Do you have a mild sore throat or mouth ulcers that get in the way of your daily routine? These lozenges can be your trusted ally for a quick return to comfort.
The first advantage of Drill sugar-free lozenges is their sugar-free formula, which is suitable for diabetic patients. This makes them a safe choice for all those who need to watch their sugar intake while looking for an effective product to treat their symptoms.
Chlorhexidine digluconate, a powerful antiseptic, works to eliminate the bacteria responsible for irritation. Tetracaine hydrochloride plays a key role in immediate pain relief, thanks to its anesthetic properties. These two active ingredients work in synergy to soothe and protect the throat and mouth.
These lozenges are not only practical, they also offer a pleasant aroma that makes them a pleasure to use. With a composition enriched with natural flavors such as poppy and pulmoral, they transform every intake into a gentle, soothing sensory experience.
Another strength of these lozenges is their fast-acting action. In the event of mild to moderate discomfort, you'll feel relief almost immediately, enabling you to continue your daily activities without being slowed down by pain or irritation.
Drill sugar-free lozenges are the right choice for fast, effective relief of sore throats and minor mouth sores. Their sugar-free formula, targeted action and ease of use make them a must-have in your family medicine cabinet.
We also suggest you combine them with alpha amylase tablets for rapid soothing action, available at the best online price.
For optimum effectiveness, dosage varies according to age.
These lozenges should be sucked slowly, without chewing, to allow the active ingredients to act on the mucous membranes. They should preferably be taken between meals, with a 2-hour interval between each dose. Do not take for more than 5 consecutive days. If symptoms persist or worsen (fever, extensive lesions, difficulty swallowing), consult a doctor.
