Each pack contains 38 lozenges, offering ample supply for several days of uses.

Key Active Ingredients and Their Role

The primary active ingredient in Fisherman's Friend Original Extra Strong is natural menthol (10mg per lozenge). Menthol is derived from peppermint oil and is known for its cooling and soothing effect. It works by stimulating cold-sensitive receptors in the throat, creating a cooling sensation that helps numb irritation and calm coughs. Eucalyptus oil also adds soothing properties and a refreshing aroma. Together, these natural ingredients provide temporary relief from sore throat and cough due to minor throat irritation.

How These Cough Lozenges Provide Relief

When you let a lozenge dissolve slowly in your mouth, the menthol activates TRPM8 receptors in the mucous membranes. This triggers a cooling effect that reduces the perception of pain and irritation. At the same time, menthol acts as a mild local anaesthetic, decreg sensitivity in the throat. The combination of cooling and numbing helps to calm the cough reflex, offering temporary relief. Eucalyptus oil contributes an expectorant-like effect, helping to loosen mucus and ease breathing. This dual action makes Fisherman's Friend especially effective for dry, tickly coughs and sore throats.

How to Uses Fisherman's Friend Lozenges Safely

For best results, allow one lozenge to dissolve slowly in your mouth. Do not chew or swallow whole. Repeat every two hours as needed, or as directed by a doctor. Do not exceed 10 lozenges in 24 hours. These lozenges are suitable for adults and children aged 6 years and older. Always follow the dosage instructions and consult a health care professional before uses if you have underlying health conditions or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Safety Precautions and When to Consult a Doctor

Do not uses if you are allergic to menthol, eucalyptus, or any other ingredient. If your cough persists for more than 7 days, returns frequently, or is accompanied by fever, rash, or persistent headache, stop uses and consult your doctor. Keep out of reach of children.
