Solmucaïne lozenges 20 pcs

What is Solmucaïne and when is it used?

Solmucaïne lozenges contain a combination of three active ingredients that have the following properties:

• N-acetylcysteine ??liquefies the mucus;Tyrothricin works against the bacteria responsible for infections in the mouth and throat area;Lido. soothes the pain and irritation caused by the inflammation of the mucous membranes.

The lozenges are therefore recommended for acute and painful infections in the area of ??the mouth and throat (throat and mouth), which are accompanied by an increased production of viscous and thick mucus, such as sore throat, painful swallowing, sore throat, hoarseness and catarrh.The lozenges are gentle on the teeth and, taking into account the total energy content of each lozenge (see ?What does Solmucaïne contain??), They are also suitable for diabetics.
