Lozenges are small, often medicated tablets designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. They are commonly used to relieve sore throats, coughs, or dry mouth. Lozenges can contain various active ingredients, such as menthol, benzocaine, or herbal extracts, which provide soothing effects and help alleviate discomfort.
These tablets come in various flavors and formulations, making them easy to consume. Lozenges are typically available over-the-counter at pharmacies and can be used by both adults and children, although some may have age restrictions. Always follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging for safe use.
