    Covonia Medicated Sore Throat Lozenges, menthol flavour, are specifically formulated to alleviate the sore throat symptoms, such as redness, irritation, and pharynx disorders. However, if a bacterial infection is accompanied by fever, it is important to seek additional treatment. Each lozenge contains a powerful combination of chlorhexidine dihydrochloride, an antiseptic agent and Lidocaine hydrochloride monohydrate. This local anaesthetic works by blocking nerve signals in a specific body area. Lidocaine temporarily relieves pain or discomfort by numbing the affected area and can provide rapid relief for sore throats.

    • Provides short-term relief for sore throats
    • Promotes a speedier recovery
    • Combines two powerful ingredients
