Max Strength Sore Throat Relief Lozenges, Wild Berry, Drops with Liquid Center to Numb Sore Throat, 15 Count

I’ve been using Chloraseptic Max Strength Sore Throat Lozenges (Wild Berries) whenever I start feeling that familiar irritation in my throat, and they’ve been consistently helpful. What I love most about this product is that it brings quick, noticeable relief — the cooling sensation soothes the raw, scratchy feeling almost immediately, and helps me get through conversations or sleep without constant throat clearing. The wild berry flavor is actually pleasant and not overly sweet, which makes these lozenges easy to take compared to some stronger medicinal options that taste harsh. They dissolve smoothly and don’t leave a weird aftertaste, which I appreciate when I’m feeling uncomfortable. This 3-pack offers great value, especially if you tend to get throat irritation frequently. I keep one in my purse, one in the car, and one at home so I always have relief close by. It’s convenient to pop a lozenge whenever my throat feels sore from post-nasal drip, talking too much, or even dry air. Overall, these lozenges are strong enough to provide real comfort when my throat is aggravated, but gentle enough that I don’t mind using them regularly when needed. If you’re looking for a reliable, fast-acting sore throat remedy with a good taste and good price, this is definitely one worth trying.

I got this medicine at my brother's recommendation (who is a nurse). While the medicine is very strong-tasting and very medicinal (it tastes like strong berry medicine), it is very effective. The liquid medicine in the middle works clearly, clearing your sinuses and soothing a sore throat almost instantly. Best of all, it works for quite some time, leaving my throat feeling so much better for about half an hour. The medicine's longevity and how quickly it works are likely to be the reasons I repurchase it. It is also very easy to pop out of the packet, making it great for my purse.

This is the only brand to use that works for a sore throat! Chloraseptic gives instant relief. I bought the lozenges for work. I also use the spray at night. Taste is ok but I don't care about taste if it works and it does.

These are amazing when you arent feeling well. They numb your throat and get rid of the pain you are feeling almost instantly

This is a review of Chloraseptic Total Sore Throat and Cough Lozenges, Sugar Free, Wild Cherry. As a disclaimer I am an adult, at least chronologically. My experience is limited to use as an adult, not as or with children. I have used Chloraseptic Products for years. Their pump spray numbed my throat but was a pain in the neck if it went down the wrong way. I also felt I didn't get the same amount sometimes. Lozenges are portable, deliver a consistent predictable effect by volume - which is the reason I switched. I prefer the ingredient mix of Total versus the Max.The Max does deliver 15 mg of Benzocaine versus the 6 mg in Total. However it lacks the cough suppressant Dextromethorphan HBr 5 mg. Both have 10 mg of Menthol. I have not tried the Max and cannot comment on its effectiveness. Honestly I knee jerk pick the wild cherry. I am just a sucker for it. The flavor seems to last only a few minutes once the Menthol and Benzocaine kick in. Which is the whole point. Relief for me is rapid. The lozenge dissolves completely in about 20 minutes, liquid center and all. I have to fight the urge to chew the lozenge and its center sometimes. It's better if it melts slowly. When I get a sore throat it usually has something to do with some respiratory ailment, where I get a hacking cough. That's where this helps get rid of that "tickle". Diminish that cough. Save my throat. If my throat starts to get "raw" from coughing then I am usually calling my physician to be on the safe side. This is for more minor pain and cough relief - as it claims. Every time I open the box I keep thinking this should be a box of 18 not 15 since there is that empty space which looks like it would accommodate another lozenge. The Lozenges are just shy of an inch long. 3/8 inch high and just shy of a half inch wide - for those who always wondered. It is easy to push the foil to access the lozenge. As opposed to some pills where you feel like you need to pound it out and almost smash the pill. My latest purchase had an expiration date that was 17 months away. The duration of relief seems to vary with how sick I feel. I only use one lozenge every four hours. The recommendation is two every four hours not to exceed 12 in 24 hours. The relief with one at best is slightly less than four hours. I prefer one versus two just to track how bad are my symptoms - and if I need them longer than 12 hours. It just makes more sense to me. Be mindful the recommended dosage for adults is also affected by how you metabolize the ingredients. The condition of your liver. Dextromethorphan is metabolized "heavily" by the liver. I cannot comment on how the HBr differs from any other form of Dextromethophan. I am not a chemist or pharmacist. It also can be habit-forming. Be careful if using this in combination with anything else. If you are on multiple prescription drugs talk to your doctor first. Yes it is OTC but still a medication. There are package warnings. Do not use if you are using any prescribed MAO inhibitor. Do not use if you have any allergies or history of reactions to any of the "Caine" family of local anesthetics. Forgive the repetition of package information - but it bears repetition. I want to be able to reach for what I know is safe when I get sick. An ounce of prevention and all that. If I am foggy that is not the time to process what is on the box. These are on hand when I need them. In the cabinet. They work. They are an effective adjunct to any cold, sore throat regime. Usually for a reasonable price, even better with subscribe and save. Addenda: Pay attention to the dosing and usage for children. Like everything else pediatric dosing differs. It is halved as is the dosage limit. The package states do not use with children from 6 to 12 years old for more than two days. If the child is under 6 years of age talk to your doctor FIRST before use. Choking hazard. Better safe than sorry.

I mask regularly, so I don't get sick often. But recently I had a very sore throat, so I immediately got ahold of these. They work! This brand has been the go-to for sore throat pain suppression for decades. I remember Mom spraying this on my throat as a little child. Great product that still works after all these decades. Thankfully the sore throat only lasted a day or two, so the leftovers will stock my medicine cabinet. Bonus, they're sugar free. Works great :)

If you have a sort of throat these are you want. these relieve & numb sore throats. They taste good last long.The size is perfect.The strength is perfect and they smell like cough drops. Best value for money

I have been using these cough lozenges ever since I was a child and they have never failed to give my sore throat the relief that I need. The fact that I like the flavor definitely helps, as well. Highly recommend!

Too serious warnings for real side effects. Not worth it for a sore throat treatment.
