Avoid consuming more than the recommended amount, which is typically indicated on the packaging. They are best enjoyed when allowed to dissolve without being swallowed whole.

Compared to hard candies, these drops often contain a specific blend of herbs known for their soothing properties. The citrus flavor is distinct from mint or fruit-only varieties, offering a different sensory experience. They are formulated with throat comfort in mind, which may not be the primary purpose of other types of candies.

How to keep the rest
Store the remaining drops in their original packaging in a cool, dry place. Keep the container tightly closed to maintain freshness and prevent the drops from becoming sticky or losing their flavor. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat, which can affect the texture and taste of the lozenges.
