{"title":"Ricola","description":"\u003ch1\u003eRicola Throat Drops \u0026amp; Cough Lozenges\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a scratchy throat or a nagging cough shows up, \u003cstrong\u003eRicola\u003c\/strong\u003e is the name most people reach for. Made from a blend of Swiss alpine herbs, these lozenges soothe irritated throats and quiet coughs with a menthol lift that actually clears the head. This collection brings together the varieties worth keeping on hand at home, at the office, or stocked in a break room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo options anchor the lineup. The \u003cstrong\u003eRicola Herb Throat Drops in Lemon Mint\u003c\/strong\u003e pair a 1.1 mg menthol drop with the brand's signature herbal base — a reliable everyday choice for a dry, tickly throat. When you're fighting an actual cold, the \u003cstrong\u003eRicola Sugar-Free Cold and Cough Relief\u003c\/strong\u003e lozenge steps up with a 4.8 mg strength for firmer symptom relief, and its sugar-free formula suits anyone watching sugar intake or managing diabetes. Both come in 19-count bags, easy to portion out or restock as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuyers often ask whether Ricola drops are medicine or just candy. They're a genuine oral demulcent — menthol is the active ingredient that cools and temporarily relieves throat irritation and cough — but they're gentle enough to use through the day. The sugar-free line lets you get that relief without added sugar, which is why it moves quickly in workplaces, clinics, and caregiving settings where a range of dietary needs are in play. Menthol lozenges are best allowed to dissolve slowly rather than chewed, and they're intended for occasional throat and cough symptoms, not as a substitute for care when a cough lingers or worsens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRicola is a practical companion to the rest of your seasonal medicine cabinet.
