Instead of merely numbing pain, Boiron Throatcalm tablets relieve minor sore throat associated with colds and hoarseness from overused vocal cords. The tablets dissolve under the tongue, causing no additional pain to swallow. It targets red, raw sore throats associated with colds with intense thirst, intense salivation, or with pain spreading to the ears. Throatcalm is also designed for hoarseness due to overused, fatigued vocal cords, or with a dry throat. It's ideal for teachers, coaches, singers, actors, tour guides, speakers, vocal sports fans, radio and television hosts, or anyone prone to hoarseness. It's non-drowsy and does not interact with other medications or supplements. This homeopathic medicine does not contain artificial colors or numbing agents such as Benzocaine so it won't mask symptoms of a more serious condition. Recommended for everyone ages 12 and up, It's available over the counter in a box of 60 pleasant-tasting tablets. Also try ColdCalm, the Chestal cough syrup line, SinusCalm for sinus relief, and Oscillococcinum for flu symptoms. Claims based on traditional homeopathic practice, not accepted medical evidence.
