Fishermans Friend Original Extra Strong Cough Lozenges 38 Drops x 6-Pack 10mg Natural Menthol Cooling Relief from Sore

These are excellent! They taste better than the original and are still powerful and effective. Everyone in the school I work at was getting this awful lingering cough. I used 3 of these over 2 days and my cough was gone. There were so many in this package I have been giving them away and everyone has been so happy and thankful for it! And, wow, the halls in the school seem so quiet today! Like most of our teachers and coughing students are feeling better... maybe our parents and guardians shared the cough drops with them too! So happy these are sugar and gluten free as well! Will order again! Read more

This pack lasts me for a year. When I have a cough, sore, throat, or stuffy nose, I don't want to run out of these. Nor do I want to run from store to store looking for them. This was the largest economical pack I could find. I used to be able to find these in drugstores or supermarket checkouts. However, more recently, I've only been finding the more gentle cherry edition. In case you didn't know, those are half as strong as Original. Do these taste good? No. Do they taste horrible? Also no. They taste strong! I first heard of these in high school when a person sitting two rows over took one. It was so strong, it cleared my sinuses from afar. True story. Read more

Best cough drops in the world! If you've ever had a mint Altoid, the Fisherman's Friend has the same texture and consistency. And like an Altoid, they are very potent and powerful when you first put them in your mouth. Chewing them should be done at your own risk, lol. Fisherman's Friends are great because they have a very low sugar content. So unlike many cough drops which are essentially more of a candy, these will not irritate your throat if you consume a bunch. Stick with the original flavor btw, the others have sucralose. The fact that they come in multiple small packets is awesome. This allows you to put one in the car, in the pocket of your favorite coats, and so on. If you've never tried Fisherman's Friends, you're truly missing out on THE most effective and easy on your throat cough drop. Once you try them, every other brand will fall short. Read more

I love it. They have a good amount of menthol, and combined with the other ingredients, they took away the extreme pain in my throat. Except, if I cough. Then it is a 90% reduction in pain versus without it. In the case of a cough, pain returns, but goes away after a few minutes. These have stunned, the enourmous pain in my throat. They clear my nostrils, though only for a few minutes, but after there is still increased airflow. The pain removal however, last a long time. I am sort of in a state of shock, because I was tense from the pain, and now I am mostly relaxed. Ricola doesn't do anything like these. I love them, and will try to always have some, just in case. / I wish they didn't have corn syrup, and for the cherry and honey-lemon flavors, I wish that they did not have the sugar alcohol, sorbitol. Plus, I wish those ones were sweetened with Stevia, instead of acesulfame K. Read more

I have used Fisherman's Friend for a wile now, they are my preferred lozenge. If you haven't tried them yet, be forewarned they are powerful. These are not the nice sweet candy drops. Fisherman's Friend carry a healthy amount of Menthol. It only took a couple of lozenges to get used to it, but the menthol is strong. I have tried both the cherry and the honey-lemon, I prefer the latter. Honestly, I do not taste honey or lemon, but I enjoy the Menthol flavor. As far as their effectiveness; these guys work great. When I have a sore throat I take one or two and I am good for an hour or more. Unlike the sweet drop that taste great, but don't do much soothing. If you want a serious cough suppressant, pick these up. Plus they are sugar free and gluten free. Read more

I purchased Fisherman’s Friend Original Extra Strong lozenges from Amazon while dealing with a persistent, barking dry cough and sore throat. I’m all for checking medications and products carefully before taking them, and I always recommend asking a pharmacist or healthcare provider if you have questions. These lozenges are strong—there’s no exaggeration there. The menthol is intense, but that’s also what makes them effective. Used as directed (about one lozenge every two hours), they don’t cure the cough, but they do temporarily calm it down, which can be a huge relief when the coughing is constant and exhausting. I’ve been using them alongside hot tea with honey, prescribed antibiotics, and an inhaler as needed, and the combination has helped take the edge off enough to rest and function. They soothe and lightly numb the throat, helping calm that raw, irritated feeling that triggers nonstop coughing. They may be too strong for those sensitive to menthol, but if you need something powerful for short-term relief, Fisherman’s Friend lives up to its reputation. Strong, old-school, and effective for temporary relief when it’s needed most. Read more
