Vicks Vorja Menthol 24 Sore Throat Lozenges

Why choose Vicks Vorja Menthol for a sore throat?

Sore throats are common symptoms associated with winter infections, cold weather, or irritation of the throat and mouth. Vicks Vorja Menthol offers a dual, complementary therapeutic action to soothe pain and clear the throat:

1. Targeted local anesthetic action: Thanks to lidocaine hydrochloride (1 mg), this medication temporarily numbs the inflamed area to quickly relieve the burning sensation and pain when swallowing.
2. Powerful antiseptic action: Chlorhexidine dihydrochloride (5 mg) eliminates bacteria and pathogens present in the oral cavity.
3. Intense menthol freshness: Its menthol flavor provides a soothing cooling effect as the lozenge dissolves.
