FAQs

Are Fisherman's Friend Spearmint Sugar Free Lozenges suitable for children?

Yes, they are suitable for children over 5 years of age needing throat or nasal relief. They are not suitable for children under 5.

Can I take these lozenges if I am diabetic?

These lozenges are sugar-free and contain sweeteners like Sorbitol, Sucralose, and Acesulfame K, making them a suitable option for individuals monitoring their sugar intake. However, always consult with your healthcare provider if you have specific dietary concerns related to diabetes.

What does 'excessive consumption may cause a laxative effect' mean?

The lozenges contain sorbitol, a sugar alcohol. Consuming a large quantity of sorbitol in a short period can lead to digestive discomfort, including a laxative effect for some individuals.

How many lozenges can I take per day?

The product packaging will specify the recommended intake. It is important not to exceed the advised amount. Always refer to the label for precise dosage information.

What are the main active ingredients?

The lozenges contain menthol and natural herbal extracts, along with sweeteners and flavorings.

Where should I store the lozenges?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their quality and effectiveness.

Do these lozenges contain any allergens?

The ingredients list should be checked for specific allergens. The current ingredients include sweeteners, flavorings, anti-caking agents, and colorings. No common allergens like nuts or gluten are typically listed, but always verify with the product packaging.

Troubleshooting

Lozenges dissolve too quickly

Try not to suck on the lozenge vigorously; allow it to dissolve naturally at its own pace in your mouth.

Minimal throat relief experienced

Ensure the lozenge is allowed to dissolve fully in the mouth, coating the throat. For persistent or severe discomfort, consult a healthcare professional.

Unpleasant taste or sensation

Due to the strong menthol and herbal content, some users may find the taste intense. If the spearmint flavor is not preferred, consider other Fisherman's Friend variants.
