Steptoguard®
What should you know about sore throats?
Sore throats are most often caused by an inflammatory condition known as pharyngitis, which affects almost everyone at least once a year.
When the vocal cords become inflamed, this is called laryngitis.
The causes of laryngitis are often similar to those of pharyngitis, though it can also result from overusing the voice. Laryngitis is usually characterized by voice loss, hoarseness, a dry, painful cough and a dry throat. In many cases, inflammation can affect both the larynx and the pharynx.
Lozenge tablets are among the most popular remedies for soar throat.
Today, many formulations exist with various active ingredients, mechanism of action, and dosages. Some tablets have a strong local antiviral effect, containing agents, like ionised zinc, as well as natural and synthetic molecules. Others contain antibacterial agents derived from natural sources, such as propolis, or artificial substances. These ingredients provide localized relief by targeting the cause of the inflammation, offering quicker relief from symptoms such pain, swelling, and irritation.
Lozenges also target one of the most bothersome symptoms – dry throat. Traditionally, sugar has been used as a sweetener to alleviate this, but modern remedies often incorporate hyaluronic acid. Products containing synergistic ingredients are highly effective in controlling symptoms of throat infections, providing quicker relief, shorter symptom duration, and faster recovery.
