ISLA Ginger 30 lozenges is a medical device containing aqueous Icelandic moss extract, honey, ginger oil and lemongrass oil. It is intended to protect, moisturise and soothe irritated mucous membranes in the mouth, throat and pharynx in cases of dry throat, irritating cough, hoarseness and vocal strain.
As the lozenge dissolves slowly, the natural mucilage from Icelandic moss spreads across the mucous membrane like a soothing balm and forms a protective film. Ginger provides a pleasant mild spiciness, honey adds natural sweetness and lemongrass oil contributes to the refreshing flavour.

How do ISLA Ginger lozenges work?
Icelandic moss (Cetraria islandica) contains a high proportion of natural mucilage. As the lozenge dissolves, the mucilage is released and spreads evenly across the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat and pharynx.
The resulting protective film reduces direct contact between the mucous membrane and dry air, smoke, dust and other irritants. At the same time, it helps retain moisture and soothe the urge to cough.
Ginger oil gives the lozenges their characteristic pleasant spiciness, while honey provides a mild and naturally sweet flavour. Lemongrass oil completes the aroma and provides a refreshing sensation while the lozenge dissolves.
When are ISLA Ginger lozenges used?
- for dry and irritating cough,
- for scratching, burning and dryness in the throat,
- for temporary hoarseness,
- after prolonged speaking, lecturing, singing or acting,
- 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 sports activities when increased breathing dries the mucous membranes.
Ingredients
One ISLA Ginger lozenge contains:
- 80 mg of aqueous Icelandic moss extract (Cetraria islandica), extraction ratio 0.4–0.8:1.
Other ingredients: gum arabic, sucrose, honey, ginger oil, lemongrass oil, flavouring, light liquid paraffin and purified water.
One lozenge contains approximately 391 mg of sucrose, equivalent to around 0.03 bread units.
Sugar and honey information
ISLA Ginger lozenges contain sucrose and are not sugar-free. People with diabetes, impaired sugar metabolism or intolerance to certain sugars should take the approximately 391 mg of sucrose per lozenge into account.
The product contains real honey and is therefore not suitable for a vegan diet.
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 Ginger lozenges may be used for a prolonged period when required.
Consult a doctor or pharmacist if there is no improvement after ten days, 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.

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 Ginger may be a suitable choice for people who enjoy the mildly spicy taste of ginger and the natural sweetness of honey. Choose a milder ISLA variant if the throat is particularly sensitive or the spiciness of ginger feels uncomfortable.
For a dry and irritated throat, increase your water intake, ventilate the room 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.
