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 a sore throat due to upper respiratory tract infection or viral infection. When customers are seeking help for a sore throat, a medicated lozenge is a very effective option.


This program has received financial support from Mead Johnson Nutrition in the form of an unrestricted educational grant.
