When is isla cassis used?
The ingredients of isla cassis form a soothing layer over the mucous membrane in the throat and pharynx. This protects the irritated mucous membrane from further attacks and allows it to recover more quickly thanks to the beneficial effect, particularly in the case of throat problems caused by:

• Irritation and hoarseness
• Heavy strain on the vocal cords (singers, speakers)
• Dry air (heated or air-conditioned)
• Dry mouth
• Restricted nasal breathing.

When should isla cassis not be used?
isla cassis must not be used in the case of hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients contained.

When should caution be exercised when using isla cassis?
Please only take isla cassis after consulting your doctor if you know that you suffer from an intolerance to certain sugars.

Can isla cassis be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
There is no evidence to suggest that isla cassis should not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

How do you use isla cassis?
Depending on requirements, adults and children aged 4 and over should suck 1 - 2 lozenges several times a day. In the case of children, care should be taken to ensure that they have already acquired the ability to suck in a controlled manner. Note for diabetics: 1 lozenge contains 397 mg of sugar substitutes = 0.033 BE.

How long can you use isla cassis for?
If required, isla cassis can also be used over a longer period of time. If there is no improvement after 10 days of treatment, please consult your doctor or pharmacist.

What undesirable side effects can isla cassis have?
In very rare cases, the use of the product can have a laxative effect due to the sugar substitutes sorbitol and maltitol. In isolated cases, hypersensitivity reactions can occur.

What else should be noted?
The expiry date is printed on the folding box and the blister. Do not use this pack after this date. The lozenges should be stored in a dry place and not above 25°C. Since both blackcurrant extract and vitamin C are sensitive to light, it is advisable to store the lozenges in the outer carton to avoid discolouration. Keep out of reach of children!

Which packs are available?
Pack sizes: 30, 60 and 120 lozenges.
