Replacement for Chloraseptic relief strips

These are the dissolving strips that numbed your throat, but they’re discontinued. They used benzocaine and menthol. I loved them. Does your country have some similar kind of dissolving strip for throat pain?

In the US, Orajel makes a benzocaine and menthol dissolving strip, marketed for toothache and gum pain.

We have Tyrozets, which I recall taste menthol-y although that's not a listed attribute. Boots makes a generic of the exact same thing for the UK market. I'd be happy to post either to you but I think what you actually want are Australia's Codral in the menthol flavour.

Response by poster: Not to threadsit, but the dissolving strip part is important—Cepacol and Chloraseptic make sprays and lozenges, but it’s the dissolving strip form that is so awesome. I’ll stop now.
