Lozenge: The Secret to a Healthier You

Lozenges are a type of medicated candy that is used to relieve sore throats, coughs, and other respiratory problems. They are made with a variety of ingredients, including sugar, honey, menthol, and eucalyptus. Lozenges dissolve slowly in the mouth, releasing their medication over time. This allows the medication to directly target the affected area, providing fast and effective relief.
