key points regarding medications that should be avoided when taking Strepsils Sore Throat & Cough Lozenges:
- Alcohol: The search results clearly state that you should avoid taking Strepsils and alcohol together. Alcohol can irritate the throat and increase the risk of bleeding in the stomach or intestines when combined with the active ingredients in Strepsils.
- Other NSAIDs: The product information warns that you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Strepsils if you are already taking any other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or aspirin. This is because there is a potential for increased risk of side effects like bleeding.
- Warfarin: The search results indicate that Strepsils may interact with the blood-thinning medication warfarin, so you should inform your doctor if you are taking warfarin.
- Certain Allergies: If you have allergies or intolerances to any of the ingredients in Strepsils, such as 2,4-Dichlorobenzyl alcohol, amylmetacresol, isomalt, or maltitol, you should not take this product.
- Safety: Strepsils are not generally thought to be harmful during pregnancy, but there have been no specific, large-scale studies into their safety in this population.
- Ingredients: The active ingredients in Strepsils, amylmetacresol and dichlorobenzyl alcohol, are mild antiseptics that can kill bacteria associated with mouth and throat infections. These ingredients are not expected to be harmful to an unborn baby, although no specific trials have been done with pregnant women.
- Alternative Treatments: If you are pregnant, it is recommended to consult with your pharmacist or doctor before taking Strepsils. Safe alternatives include gargling with salty water, sucking an ice cube, or drinking hot lemon and honey.
- Safety: Strepsils are not expected to be harmful during breastfeeding, but their safety has not been fully studied in this population either.
- Ingredients: The ingredients in Strepsils are not expected to harm the baby through breast milk.
Not Suitable for Children Under 6- Strepsils lozenges are not recommended for children under 6 years old, as there is a risk of choking.
Avoid Alcohol
- Alcohol should be avoided when taking Strepsils, as it can irritate the throat and increase the risk of bleeding.
Consult for Other Medications
- Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any other medications, as there may be potential interactions.
- Specifically, Strepsils may interact with other NSAIDs or blood thinners like warfarin.
Allergy and Intolerance Precautions
- Do not take Strepsils if you are allergic to any of the ingredients, including 2,4-Dichlorobenzyl alcohol, amylmetacresol, levomenthol, sucrose, glucose, or other components.
- Strepsils contain sucrose and glucose, so they are not suitable for those with certain hereditary sugar intolerance conditions.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
