Uses
Lupin Zysils are primarily prescribed to alleviate symptoms associated with sore throat and mouth infections. These lozenges can provide temporary relief from pain, discomfort, and irritation caused by conditions such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and mouth ulcers.

If you are unsure about the appropriate dosage, consult your doctor or pharmacist for guidance.
Mechanism of Action
Lupin Zysils contain Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol and Amylmetacresol, which are antiseptic agents. These active ingredients work by killing or inhibiting the growth of certain bacteria and fungi that may cause infections in the throat and mouth. By reducing the number of harmful microorganisms, Lupin Zysils help to alleviate the symptoms of sore throat and mouth infections.
