Mode of action

The contained special plant extract from Icelandic moss consists of over 80% mucilage. It dissolves like a balm when sucked, spreads pleasantly in the mouth, throat and pharynx and forms a protective film, which protects the mucous membranes from irritation and attack. In addition, the flow of saliva is stimulated. The irritated mucous membranes can regenerate. Typical cold and throat ailments such as coughing and hoarseness as well as dry throat and pharyngeal mucous membranes, which can result in difficulty swallowing and sore throats, are relieved.

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

Can ISLA JUNIOR be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
There is no evidence to suggest that it should not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

How do you use ISLA JUNIOR?
Depending on requirements, children aged 4 and over can suck up to 6 lozenges daily. It should be ensured that children have already acquired the ability to suck in a controlled manner. Note for diabetics: 1 lozenge contains 0.997 g of sugar substitutes = 0.083 BE.

How long can ISLA JUNIOR be used?
If necessary, ISLA JUNIOR 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 JUNIOR have?
