Pharmacist FAQs Answered

What are Covonia Double Impact Lozenges used for?

Covonia Double Impact Cough Lozenges are designed to relieve coughs and sore throats quickly. Their double-action offers a warm, comforting sensation to the throat, with a refreshing burst of menthol that clears your airways and soothes the urge to cough. This strong original flavour is ideal for those who want a lozenge that not only soothes throat irritation but also eases the symptoms of a chesty or dry cough.

How many lozenges can I have in a day?

Because of the large amount of menthol, it is not recommended to take more than 10 lozenges within a 24-hour time span. Taking more than this can lead to side effects such as stomach upset or a soft laxative effect, especially if taken in high dosages due to the isomalt and sucralose sweeteners. Take the lozenges several times per day as needed, and if the condition fails to improve or worsens, consult with your GP or pharmacist.

For whom are these lozenges available?

These lozenges are suitable for adults and children aged 6 years and above. For children below the age of 6, lozenges, in general, are not recommended due to the possibility of choking. If your child is below 6 years of age and has a sore throat or cough, seek advice from a healthcare provider for the right option for the child's age. The lozenges are gluten-free and suitable for vegetarians but include milk traces, so avoid them if you have a milk allergy or intolerance.

Can I use them if I'm on other medications?

Covonia Double Impact Lozenges are unlikely to interact with most medicines, making them a safe choice for many people. However, suppose you’re using any other treatments for the throat or taking long-term medications. In that case, speaking with your pharmacist is a good idea, especially if your symptoms haven’t improved within a few days or have become more severe. Always check if new symptoms appear alongside a persistent cough.

Where do I keep the lozenges?

To keep the lozenges effective and fresh, store them in a cool, dry place below 25°C and away from direct sunlight. Also, keep them away from young children, especially since the strong menthol flavour may be attractive to them but can be overwhelming or even toxic at high levels.
