neo-angin® sugarfree throat lozenges are effective against almost all gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria which occur in the oral and pharyngeal cavities as well as fungi and yeasts. The rapid bactericidal effect deserves special emphasis. In addition to the antiseptic effect, menthol has pain-alleviating and secretion-restricting effects on the mucosa.
Through the properties described above neo-angin® combats and alleviates the symptoms of inflammatory catarrhal infections of the mouth and throat. It is well tolerated and has a pleasant flavour.

Lycasin tablets are hygroscopic; that is, they draw moisture from the environment.
