THROAT THERAPY
When a sore
throat gets
you down, an
ordinary lozenge
won’t always do.
Strepsils new
prescription-only
lozenge,
Strepsils
Max Pro
, contains
an analgesic, so as to provide dual-action relief by
combining the soothing properties of a lozenge
with flurbiprofen, a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory
painkiller. The Honey and Lemon-flavoured lozenge
fights the source of inflammation, coats the throat
within just two minutes and provides pain relief for
up to six hours. Available at general practice clinics,
hospitals and pharmacies island-wide.
