Description du cours

Pharmacists play a very important role in counselling people who experience coughs, colds, influenzas, and similar illnesses. Medicated lozenges contain ingredients such as benzocaine and menthol that actively relieve pain and soothe sore throat due to upper respiratory tract infection or viral infection. When customers are seeking help for sore throat, a medicated lozenge is a very effective option.
