dolo-angin: active and effective against sore throat and irritations of the mucosa.
dolo-angin fights a sore throat on two different levels. This involves two physical mechanisms.
Lichen islandicus soothes the inflamed and irritated mucous membranes lining the mouth and throat. It covers the dried-out mucosa, preventing an invasion of pathogens. Thus protected, the mucous membranes can regenerate better and faster.
Benzocaine covers the surface of the inflamed cell like a protective film layer, blocking out the sensation of pain. This way, benzocaine relieves you sore throat quickly and efficiently, right where the pain originates.
These two mechanisms ensure virtually painless healing of inflamed sections of the mucous membranes in the mouth and throat.
dolo-angin lozenges will dissolve in your mouth in approx. 12 minutes. During that time, the active ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mouth and throat.
Hypersensibility or sensitisation in the mouth may occur.
Note on shelf life:
