FAQs

Can children under 3 years old use these lozenges?

No, Olbas Lozenges are not recommended for children under 3 years of age due to the concentration of active ingredients.

Are these lozenges suitable for diabetics?

Yes, these lozenges are sugar-free and suitable for individuals managing their sugar intake, including diabetics, provided they are used as directed.

How many lozenges can I take per day?

Adults and children 3 years and older can dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth every 2 hours as needed. Do not exceed the recommended dosage.

What are the active ingredients?

The active ingredient in each lozenge is Menthol 10mg, which acts as a cough suppressant and oral anesthetic.

Can I chew the lozenges?

What is the blackcurrant flavor derived from?

The blackcurrant flavor is a natural flavor, contributing to the overall taste profile of the lozenge.

Are these lozenges vegan?

Troubleshooting

Lozenges do not dissolve properly

Ensure the lozenge is placed on the tongue and allowed to dissolve slowly without chewing. If your mouth is very dry, a small sip of water beforehand may help.

Flavor is too strong or causes irritation

While designed for effective relief, the menthol and eucalyptus can be intense. Try dissolving the lozenge more slowly or taking one less frequently. If irritation persists, discontinue use.

Product seems less effective than usual

Ensure lozenges are stored correctly and have not expired. Symptoms may also have progressed, requiring a different form of relief; consult a healthcare provider if symptoms worsen.
