Strepsils honey and lemon lozenges

Strepsils is a globally recognized brand of medicated throat lozenges, first introduced in 1958 by the British company Boots Healthcare. The brand's name is derived from the Streptococcus bacterium, which is a common cause of sore throats. Originally launched as a mouthwash in 1950, it evolved into the lozenge form that is popular today.

In 2006, the brand was acquired by Reckitt (formerly Reckitt Benckiser) as part of a multi-billion dollar deal for Boots' healthcare division. Today, Strepsils is manufactured in various locations to serve international markets, including major facilities in the United Kingdom and Thailand. The product remains a core part of Reckitt's health portfolio, which is headquartered in Slough, United Kingdom.
