Action
A sore throat is usually produced by exposure to viral and rarely fungal infection. Other factors may be inhalation of particles or vapours. Where bacterial agents are involved, the causative organisms cannot be readily identified.

Strepsils lozenges have both the anti-bacterial and demulcent properties. The mode of action of the anti-bacterial agents, dichlorobenzyl alcohol and amyl-metacresol, is in the elimination of the bacterial pathogens commonly responsible for the sore throats.
