PULMONOL LOZENGES JAR (50S)

Herbal Extracts Lozenges typically work by directly interacting with the oral mucosa, which lines the mouth and throat. The active herbal components in the lozenge are gradually released and absorbed through the oral tissues. This mechanism allows for localized action, targeting the throat and respiratory system. The herbal extracts may possess various properties such as anti-inflammatory, soothing, or antimicrobial effects, depending on the specific herbs used. These properties can help alleviate symptoms like sore throat, inflammation, or irritation by interacting with the local tissues and potentially modulating the immune response or providing protective effects against pathogens. The slow dissolution of the lozenge ensures a sustained release of the herbal extracts, maximizing their therapeutic benefits in the targeted area.
