Advantages: Good instantaneous relief.

Disadvantages: Poor long lasting effect, they only do their job when you are sucking on them.

I am having a terrible time with a cold, sore throat and stuffy head. I thought I'd try these sugar free mentho-lyptus lozengers to try and combat my poor health, however, unfortunately I didn't prevail in my attempts.

Firstly I thought they might do some good, you get a sense that as you suck on the lozengers your noes does feel clear, which is a good start, the back of your throat also starts to ease up and you generally start of feel clearer... but... as soon as the lozenger was gone, it all came flooding back. I wasn't going to dismiss the lozenger that quickly so I took another, but the same happened again. It seems that although they are good when they are in your mouth, there is no long lasting effect. What's bad about this is the fact that there is a guide of a maximum of 8 lozengers in 24 hours... which means I can't just keep taking them every 30 minutes!

Yes they do taste nice, in fact the cherry ones are my favourite, but these are sweets, so that's not the reason why I bought them.

Unfortunately I wouldn't really rate these very highly, as I need something that is going to help long term, not just the 20 minutes when I have the lozenger in my mouth.

Summary: Great while the are in your mouth, but there's no long lasting effect.
