A member asked:

Good evening dr. my wife and i are expecting. she currently has a sore/dry throat, is it safe for her to take strepsils?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be ok: The primary active ingredients are dichlorobenzyl alcohol and amylmetacresol, with some formulations containing ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Inactive ingredients include menthol, tartaric acid, and propylene glycol.
