Strepsils Plus Throat Spray 20ml — Anaesthetic & Antiseptic Sore Throat Spray

Strepsils Plus Throat Spray contains two active ingredients — amylmetacresol and 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol — providing both antiseptic action (killing the bacteria contributing to throat infection) and a local anaesthetic effect for fast-acting pain relief. The spray format delivers the active ingredients directly to the affected area of the throat for targeted, rapid relief of sore throat discomfort.

One of the most popular and recognisable sore throat spray brands in Ireland, Strepsils Plus is particularly suited to those who need faster and more targeted relief than lozenges can provide.

• Antiseptic action — helps kill bacteria in the throat and mouth

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Strepsils Plus Spray and Difflam Spray?

Both are effective sore throat sprays available without prescription in Ireland. Strepsils Plus contains antiseptic ingredients and a local anaesthetic for fast numbing relief — it works immediately on contact. Difflam (benzydamine) is an NSAID anti-inflammatory that reduces the inflammation causing the pain rather than numbing it — it may take slightly longer to feel the effect but targets the underlying inflammation. For very painful throats where you want instant numbing relief, Strepsils Plus is often preferred. For throats with significant redness and swelling where inflammation is the main problem, Difflam is typically the pharmacist preference. Both are available from Chemco Pharmacy.

How quickly does Strepsils Plus Throat Spray work?

The local anaesthetic in Strepsils Plus provides rapid numbing of the throat — most people notice relief within minutes of application. The effect lasts 2–3 hours, which is why it is dosed every 2–3 hours as required.

Can I use Strepsils Plus Spray if I have a very bad sore throat?

Strepsils Plus is suitable for mild to moderate sore throat. If your sore throat is very severe, is accompanied by a high fever (above 38.5°C), difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing your own saliva, or has not improved after 3 days, seek medical advice promptly — these symptoms may indicate a bacterial infection requiring antibiotics or another condition that needs medical assessment.
