Kurkkupastillit

Kurkkupastillit are throat lozenges commonly found in Finland. They are designed to soothe sore throats and ease cough symptoms. The primary active ingredients are typically menthol and eucalyptus oil, which provide a cooling and anesthetic sensation, and can help to open up airways. Other common ingredients may include sugar, glucose syrup, and various flavorings to make them palatable.

These lozenges are widely available in Finnish pharmacies and supermarkets. They are a popular remedy for mild to moderate throat irritation, often used during colds or flu season. While they offer symptomatic relief, they do not cure the underlying cause of a sore throat. It is important to follow dosage instructions on the packaging and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen. Kurkkupastillit are generally considered safe for most adults and older children when used as directed. They come in various strengths and flavors, with menthol being a dominant characteristic of many varieties.
