Extra Triple Action Blackcurrant Lozenges

Actual medicinal properties not just a flavored candy lozenge. First bought in the UK. Stuffy or runny nose, sinus drainage down throat, thick phlegm I bought both the purple that is more medicinal in taste and the lemon/ honey yellow ones use both daily!

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"!

Took them every 2 hours for 2-3 days and it cleared my sore throat. Dayquil/Nyquil was doing nothing and without anti-inflamatories I was in agony. These saved the day and saved me a Dr's visit! Immediate relief, no more pain meds and was finally able to sleep without waking up Ina coughing fit.

I had a horrible sore throat and these were the only thing that soothed my throat. I bought more just in case it ever happens again. I felt like I was dying but these made me feel half way human. Everyone should have these at home, just in case. And I’ve tried them all!!! They are a little pricier than normal cough drops but they aren’t normal. They are fabulous for sore throats!!!

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.

Seems to be working

Great product. Helps with sore throat effectively! Happy I found them here. * I prefer the strawberry sugar free but those are not prime and the shipping was very long.

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

I picked these up after a sore throat that quickly escalated from mild irritation to properly painful (the kind where even swallowing feels like effort). The main thing I noticed is how quickly they start working, literally within a few minutes there’s a noticeable numbing effect, which takes the edge off the pain quite effectively. They’re not just soothing like standard lozenges, they actually feel medicated and targeted. The blackcurrant flavour is pleasant although I'm not a fan of this flavour in general, not overly medicinal, which makes them easier to take regularly throughout the day. I also found the relief lasts a reasonable amount of time (roughly 1–2 hours), so you’re not constantly reaching for another one. One thing to be aware of is that the numbing sensation can feel quite strong at first, especially if you’re not used to medicated lozenges; it’s effective, but noticeable. I’ve been using them over several days during a throat infection, and they’ve made a real difference in managing pain, especially in the evenings when my symptoms tend to worsen after a wholr day talking with clients. Overall, these are much more effective than standard “soothing” lozenges and worth having on hand if you’re dealing with a genuinely painful sore throat rather than just a tickle. Update a week later: my neighbour went down with a similar throat infection and I rescued her with my leftover lozenges- she has a similar experience- worked really fast, very effective.

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.

works for me.take two lozenges first off. this pack contains 24 !!! so good value

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.
