Over 50 products, most in stock.

How to choose

Tickling, dry cough — Takabb or Mr. Herb: liquorice and herbs soothe. Sore throat — propolis (Propoliz) or zinc (Mybacin), both sugar-free. Fresh breath — Min Min, Halls XS, Fisherman's Friend. Quitting smoking — Hin Fha makes a cigarette taste bitter. Travel sickness — ginger drops 20–30 minutes before the trip. Sugar-free options suit diabetics and protect teeth.

Good to know

Lozenges relieve symptoms but do not treat an infection: fever, pus on the tonsils or a cough over 2–3 weeks need a doctor. Not for children under 3–4 (choking risk); menthol lozenges from age 6. Propolis and honey — not with bee-product allergy. Usual dose — one lozenge every 2–3 hours, no more than 6–8 a day.
