1. WHAT STREPSILS MAX PRO DIRECT SPRAY IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR

The active ingredient (which makes Strepsils Max Pro Direct Spray works) is Flurbiprofen. It belongs to a group of medicines known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs provide relief by changing the body's response to pain, swelling, and high temperature.

This medicine is for adults of age 18 years and over.
