Product Images Jakemans Throat And Chest Anise

This is a description of Jakemans throat and chest lozenges. Each lozenge contains Merithol 5, an active ingredient which serves as an antitussive (cough suppressant) and an oral anesthetic. This medication is used to relieve cough caused by minor throat and bronchial irritation due to inhaled irritants or the common cold. It can also help reduce minor irritation, soreness, and pain associated with sore mouth and throat. However, if the sore throat is severe and lasts more than two days, or is accompanied by other symptoms such as headache, rash, nausea, or swelling, consult a doctor immediately. People with a chronic cough or asthma should also consult a doctor before using it. Additionally, if a cough persists for more than a week, recurs, or is accompanied by a fever, rash, or headache, stop using the medication and seek medical attention. The product is not recommended for children under two years of age. Adults and children over two years old should dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth and repeat every two hours or as directed by a doctor. These lozenges contain anise oil, eucalyptus oil, caramel color, glucose syrup, and natural flavoring. Jakemans throat and chest lozenges are manufactured in Boston, England and have been made for over 100 years. They are offered in multiple flavors, including anise flavored.*
