Strepsils Citroen & Honing

Strepsils is a globally recognized brand of antiseptic throat lozenges. The brand was originally introduced in 1950 by the British company Boots Healthcare as a mouthwash, with the lozenge format following in 1958. The name itself is derived from the Streptococcus bacterium, which is a common cause of sore throats.

In 2006, the brand was acquired by the British-Dutch multinational Reckitt Benckiser (now known simply as Reckitt) as part of a major acquisition of Boots' healthcare division. Today, Strepsils is marketed as a primary solution for relieving mouth and throat infections, utilizing active ingredients like dichlorobenzyl alcohol and amylmetacresol.

While the brand has a strong British heritage and maintains a major manufacturing hub in Nottingham, UK, it is produced in various locations around the world to serve over 50 countries. Under Reckitt's ownership, Strepsils has become the world's best-selling medicated sore throat remedy, benefiting from the parent company's extensive global distribution network.
