Covonia Medicated Sore Throat 5mg/1mg Lozenges Lemon Flavour - 36 Lozenges

Covonia Medicated Sore Throat Lozenges for Effective Relief

You can find relief from sore throat discomfort with these medicated sore throat lozenges containing 5mg benzocaine and 1mg cetylpyridinium chloride. Each lozenge provides targeted treatment for throat pain and irritation whilst delivering a pleasant lemon flavour. The dual-action formula works locally in your mouth and throat to address both pain and bacterial concerns.

These throat lozenges dissolve slowly in your mouth, allowing the active ingredients to coat your throat and provide sustained relief. The 36-lozenge pack ensures you have sufficient treatment for managing your symptoms throughout the day. You can use these lozenges as part of your broader approach to managing throat discomfort, which may also include other treatments from our cold and flu collection.

How Benzocaine and Cetylpyridinium Chloride Work Together

Benzocaine acts as a local anaesthetic, temporarily numbing the pain receptors in your throat tissue. This provides you with rapid relief from the sharp, scratchy sensations associated with throat irritation. The anaesthetic effect typically begins within minutes of the lozenge dissolving in your mouth.

Cetylpyridinium chloride functions as an antiseptic agent, helping to reduce bacterial load in your mouth and throat. This ingredient supports your body's natural healing processes by creating an environment less favourable to harmful bacteria. The combination of pain relief and antiseptic action addresses both the symptoms and potential underlying factors contributing to your throat discomfort.

Suitable for Adults and Children Over 6 Years

These lozenges are appropriate for you if you're an adult or child over 6 years experiencing sore throat symptoms. The lemon flavour makes them more palatable, particularly for younger users who may be reluctant to take medication. You should ensure children can safely dissolve lozenges without choking risk.

The product is particularly suitable if you experience:

• Mild to moderate throat pain and irritation
• Scratchy or dry throat sensations
• Discomfort when swallowing
• Throat symptoms associated with minor infections

Why Choose Dual-Action Throat Treatment

The combination of anaesthetic and antiseptic ingredients provides you with comprehensive throat care in a single lozenge. Rather than addressing only pain or only bacterial concerns, you receive both benefits simultaneously. This dual approach can be more convenient than using separate products for different aspects of throat discomfort.

The lemon flavour helps mask the medicinal taste whilst providing a refreshing sensation. The slow-dissolving format ensures prolonged contact time between the active ingredients and your throat tissues, maximising the therapeutic benefit of each lozenge.

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

You should store these lozenges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the packaging sealed when not in use to maintain the integrity of the active ingredients and prevent moisture absorption. The lozenges should be kept out of reach of children when not being administered under supervision.

Check the expiry date before use and do not use lozenges that have passed their expiration date. If you notice any changes in colour, texture, or smell, discontinue use and consult your pharmacist. Proper storage helps ensure you receive the full therapeutic benefit from each lozenge.
