HALLS Defence Sugar Free Cough Drops deliver rapid relief through the cooling sensation of menthol, while also supplying Vitamin C and Zinc to help maintain a healthy immune system. These sugar-free, assorted citrus lozenges are perfect for carrying in your pocket or bag, so you're always prepared.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow These Cough Drops Work\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs you let a HALLS Defence drop dissolve slowly in your mouth, the menthol is gradually released and coats your throat tissues. It activates cold-sensitive receptors (TRPM8), creating a cooling effect that helps distract from the irritation that triggers coughing. This non-drowsy, non-narcotic mechanism provides temporary relief without making you feel sleepy. The Vitamin C and Zinc are absorbed as the drop dissolves, contributing to your daily nutrient intake. For best results, uses one drop every two hours as needed, but do not take more than 10 drops in a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Ingredients and Their Roles\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach HALLS Defence Cough Drop contains two active and inactive ingredients that work together effectively. \u003cstrong\u003eMenthol\u003c\/strong\u003e (1.5 mg per drop) acts as a topical analgesic and cough suppressant, soothing the throat and reducing the cough reflex.
