Strepsils Extra Triple Action Blackcurrant / Cherry Lozenges

Why I Swear By These Lozenges: When I get a sore throat, it hits hard. Standard lozenges only offer minor, temporary relief. I bought the Strepsils Extra Triple Action specifically for the painkilling action, and they are the absolute best for numbing and soothing a really painful throat, especially when it hurts to swallow. The Game-Changing Benefits (The Pros): Powerful Pain Relief (Triple Action): The combination of soothing the throat, fighting infection, and providing a local anaesthetic is a game-changer. The pain relief is palpable—it quickly numbs the back of the throat, allowing me to speak and swallow without wincing. Effective and Fast-Acting: Within a minute of letting the lozenge dissolve, I feel the anaesthetic properties kick in. This immediate relief makes enduring a bad cold or flu much more bearable. Pleasant Blackcurrant Flavour: Unlike the strong, medicinal flavours of some throat remedies, the Blackcurrant flavour is genuinely pleasant. It’s sweet, fruity, and doesn't taste harsh, making it easier to take multiple times a day as needed. 24-Count Value: The pack provides a good supply to get through a nasty cold without running out, offering great value for the high level of relief provided. Tips for Use: Let the lozenge dissolve slowly in your mouth (don't chew it) to maximize the contact time with the back of your throat where the pain is worst. Final Verdict: If you need serious relief for a severe sore throat—not just a sugary, slight soothing effect—these Strepsils Extra Triple Action lozenges are essential. They are the most effective product I have found over the counter for pain management. They are a mandatory 5-star product in my cold and flu arsenal.

I keep Strepsils Triple Action Blackcurrant at home as a go-to option whenever my throat feels sore. I have tried several types of throat lozenges, and this one stands out for how soothing it feels while dissolving. The lozenge dissolves slowly, which I like because it coats the throat rather than disappearing too quickly. While using it, my throat feels calmer and less irritated, making it more comfortable to talk or swallow. I find it particularly useful during colder months. The texture is smooth, and it doesn’t feel harsh on the throat. Pros: -Soothing and comfortable while dissolving -Pleasant blackcurrant flavour -Easy to carry and store -Very easy to use — just let it dissolve slowly in the mouth with no preparation or mess Cons: -Costs a bit more than very basic lozenges Overall: this is a well-made throat lozenge with a nice flavour and a comforting feel. I’m happy with the quality and would choose it again when restocking.

I caught a cold and with that cold came a painful sore throat these strepsils do soothe it but not on their own. I had one and it helped a little and then I had two strepsils more hours apart and my throat was starting to fight back and got a bit more sore. So I had a big tub of vanilla ice cream after I had my third strepsil and it seemed to work really well then. The icecream soothed the temperature and the numbed the pain while the strepsil fought the infection. Soo yes they do work and great at helping fight the infection but I honestly would say they don't work well enough on their own. icy cold water and plain vanilla ice cream help in-between. The taste of the strepsil is quite strong. And the numbing of the strepsil is not enough if your throat is really sore or hot. But I am happy with the results. I had sore throat for up to two days before these strepsils arrived and then I took these strepsils before bedtime and my sore throat was gone by morning. I'm just waiting on my cold to go now. I think the price is okay considering it's a 24 pack. I would buy this product again.

Good quality triple action lozenges. Great taste and effective. We like them and have found them very good.

Had a prolonged sore throat (and swallowed tonsils) due to bacteria infection, Strepsils was my last hope, and it did it well, it literally killed the pain. My nhs gp was useless as always, so had to find solution myself, been trying some cheap non branded lozenges for a week, and I couldn't swallow without the pain, then my friend told me to try those Extra Triple Action ones, then I bought it and it was wow, what a difference, took two at once (I mean one after another), cuz was sceptical, and it literally numbed my tongue... It's not cheap for a reason, and it's what they say, you get what you pay for.

I love the flavour very good for sore throat.

Permanent resident of the medicine cabinet. Pleasant to the taste and, crucially, a prompt and effective remedy.

I've had the strepsils before and I think they work Good price. Very good seller

Love this product! Purchased this when we were in the UK - and am so glad that it is available thru amazon! The entire Strepsils line of lozenges are soothing and effective without bitter after-taste or artificial color residual. It was a "lifesaver"!

The taste is excellent, and the flavor is great. What's more, it can relieve my sore throat. If you have a dry, cracked throat, it can help alleviate the "cracking sensation". Of course, if you want a permanent solution, you should still see a doctor.

It works for my flu sore throat, can relief the pain by 50%. But I would need to brush my teeth after having it before going to sleep

The only thing to use for scratchy throat. 100 % better than Cepacol

These are the best, they work to help you fight the infection not just numb your mouth like everything in the regular us pharmacies.
