GO CASSIS LOZENGES 60
- Stock: In Stock
- Brand: SALVEO Pharma
- Model: 20210228001
ISLA Cassis 60 lozenges is a medical device containing aqueous Icelandic moss extract, vitamin C and blackcurrant extract, intended to protect, moisturise and soothe irritated mucous membranes in the mouth, throat and pharynx. The lozenges help relieve dry and irritating cough, temporary hoarseness, throat irritation, dry mouth and vocal strain.
As the lozenge dissolves slowly, the natural mucilage from Icelandic moss spreads evenly across the mucous membrane and forms a soothing protective film. The lozenges have a pleasant fruity blackcurrant flavour, contain no sucrose and are sweetened with sorbitol, maltitol and acesulfame K.

How do ISLA Cassis lozenges work?
Icelandic moss (Cetraria islandica) is naturally rich in mucilage. As the lozenge dissolves slowly, these substances are released and spread like a soothing balm across the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat and pharynx.
The resulting protective film helps retain moisture and reduces direct contact between the mucous membrane and dry air, smoke, dust and other irritating influences. This helps relieve scratching, the urge to cough and discomfort caused by a dry throat.
The formula also contains vitamin C and blackcurrant extract, which provide the characteristic fruity flavour. The product’s primary action is based on physically protecting and moisturising the mucous membrane.
When are ISLA Cassis lozenges used?
- for dry and irritating cough,
- for throat irritation and dryness,
- for temporary hoarseness,
- after prolonged speaking, lecturing or singing,
- when the vocal cords are under increased strain,
- when spending time in air-conditioned or heated rooms,
- for dryness of the mouth and pharynx,
- when breathing through the mouth because nasal breathing is difficult,
- when exposed to dust, smog, cigarette smoke and dry air,
- during physical activity when faster breathing dries the mucous membranes.
Ingredients
One ISLA Cassis lozenge contains:
- 80 mg of aqueous Icelandic moss extract (Cetraria islandica), extraction ratio 0.4–0.8:1.
Other ingredients: ascorbic acid – vitamin C, sorbitol, gum arabic, maltitol, anhydrous citric acid, acesulfame K, blackcurrant extract, blackcurrant flavouring, light liquid paraffin and purified water.
One lozenge contains 112 mg of sorbitol and 285 mg of maltitol, providing a total of 397 mg of sugar substitutes, equivalent to approximately 0.033 bread units.
Sweetener information
ISLA Cassis lozenges contain no sucrose but do contain the sugar substitutes sorbitol and maltitol, as well as the sweetener acesulfame K.
- People with intolerance to certain sugars or sugar alcohols should consult a doctor before use.
- People with diabetes should take approximately 0.033 bread units per lozenge into account.
- Larger amounts of sorbitol and maltitol may produce a laxative effect.
Directions for use
Adults and children over four years of age: slowly dissolve one to two lozenges in the mouth several times a day as required.
Do not chew or swallow the lozenge whole. Allow it to dissolve slowly so that the Icelandic moss mucilage spreads evenly across the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat.
Children should use the product only when they are able to suck a lozenge independently and safely, without a risk of choking.
How long may the lozenges be used?
ISLA Cassis lozenges may be used for a prolonged period when required.
Consult a doctor or pharmacist if there is no improvement after ten days of regular use, symptoms worsen or frequently recur.
Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding
According to the manufacturer’s instructions, there are no known findings that prevent use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Prior consultation is recommended in cases of chronic illness or regular medication use.
Warnings and precautions

Storage and pack size
Store the lozenges in a dry place, in their original packaging and at a temperature below 25°C.

The package contains 60 blackcurrant-flavoured lozenges.
Manufacturer: Engelhard Arzneimittel GmbH & Co. KG, Germany.
Pharmacist’s advice
Allow the lozenge to dissolve as slowly as possible in the mouth. Chewing or swallowing it quickly reduces the contact time between Icelandic moss and the mucous membrane, limiting the practical benefit of the protective film.
ISLA Cassis may be a suitable choice for people who prefer a fruity blackcurrant flavour and sucrose-free lozenges. However, the product contains sorbitol and maltitol, and excessive consumption may cause bloating, stomach discomfort or a laxative effect.
For a dry and irritated throat, increase your water intake, ventilate the room regularly and use a humidifier when necessary. Avoid cigarette smoke, very cold or hot drinks and unnecessary vocal strain.
Do not whisper when hoarse, as whispering may place additional strain on the vocal cords. Speak quietly and calmly and take breaks during prolonged speaking.
Consult a doctor if you experience a high temperature, difficulty breathing or swallowing, pronounced throat swelling, pus on the tonsils, blood in sputum, severe pain or symptoms lasting longer than ten days.
