Anticol Lozenges X 10
I am sick and tired of being ripped off on a constant basis. So many times i have advised them about their quality control. I keep getting packs with… Read more
1 or 2 short lozenges. When there is only 10 of them and you end up with just a chip of one or even half of one. Why doesn't their machinery and sensors pick up these part lozenges? This week i had a pack with 3 lozenges in the same pack that were about 1/4 to 1/3 size. That means i only got 7 lozenges and a few chips out of 10. When we used to pay only $2 for a pack of 3 well it didn't hurt the wallet as much as it does now. Each shopping trip i pick up 4 packs of 3 that is 2 x Anticol and 2 x Butter Menthol for a total of about $28 ($6.98 per pack) It works out close to 25cents a lozenge and when you end up missing 10 in total from these packs each time that can be $2.50 each week we get them... Doesn't sound like much but it adds up... That can be as much as $130 a year. Some times its just screwed up paper in place of a lozenge. The two below came out in the last 5 lozenges of a pack and there was also one that was the third one in. Didn't have that one cause i was out at the time and i tossed the chip bit away. So to my surprise another two in the same pack. I am mising around 10-15% of my lozenges each time i buy the things. How many other people out there are finding the same thing...missing lozenges or part lozenges? Let's stand up and let them know.

Strepsils Herbal Chesty Cough+ Lozenges
The “Honey Lemon Flavour” does very little to mask the bitter, harsh and unpleasant taste of English Ivy leaf (Hedera helix). Within seconds, I… Read more
noticed a lingering aftertaste with an unpleasant “afterburn”.
It may have expectorant, antioxidant or anti-inflammatory properties, but the flavour is borderline unbearable.
The marketing claims of “Soothes sore throats” and “Available in a great honey lemon flavour” are hard to reconcile with my experience. To me, it tasted more like lemon peel with a chemical edge than anything soothing or pleasant.

Difflam Plus Anaesthetic Sore Throat Spray
What a useless product – Our purchàsed from Chemist Warehouse and have used a product similar before however the manufacture of this particular product is woeful. States on… Read more
packaging it should be expelled from the packaging as a mist, well NOPE. Comes out as a weak spray of liquid, doesn't reach anywhere near the throat and the stupidly placed applicator nozzle is useless, only able to turn sideways. What a waste of money. Don't know it's a problem until you buy it and take it home. Avoid. Should be pulled from the shelves.
Duro-Tuss Relief Dry Cough Liquid
Worthless – This "medicine" has many variations of its name. My review is about the one in the title. I can't speak to the others, but this is totally useless. It does nothing to relieve dry cough; absolutely nothing.
