About Strepsils Extra Triple Action
Strepsils' strongest lozenge: hexylresorcinol delivers three actions in one blackcurrant lozenge — it relieves throat pain (a genuine local anaesthetic effect), fights infection with antiseptic action, and soothes as it dissolves. For the sore throats that make swallowing an event. 24 lozenges.
Why Extra beats a sweet
Ordinary throat sweets moisten and mask; hexylresorcinol actually numbs the throat lining and attacks the microbes living on it. That's the “triple action” on the box: pain relief, antiseptic, soothing — the full toolkit for a raw, scratchy, painful throat, in the blackcurrant flavour that doesn't taste like medicine.
How to take
Dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth every 2–3 hours as needed — don't chew. Adults and children 12+. Check the pack's daily maximum.
Good to know
Most sore throats are viral and settle within a week. A sore throat with high fever, white patches, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or one lasting beyond a week, needs a pharmacist or GP — not just stronger lozenges.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Extra different from regular Strepsils?
The active — hexylresorcinol — has a mild local-anaesthetic effect on top of antiseptic action, so it numbs throat pain rather than just soothing it.
How often can I take one?
One lozenge dissolved slowly every 2–3 hours as needed, within the pack's daily limit. Don't chew them — the slow dissolve is the delivery method.
When is a sore throat serious?
See a pharmacist or GP for high fever, white patches on the tonsils, trouble breathing or swallowing, or a throat still sore after a week.
