For nearly a century, Ricola has been helping sore throats feel better. Ricola Original Natural Herb cough drops are made with high-quality herbs grown high in the Swiss mountains. Along with its pleg herbal taste and unique square shape, Ricola cough drops provide soothing relief from coughs due to colds or flus. And today, our cough drops can also help with itchy throats from allergies. Or with daily voice care for dry and hoarse throats. At Ricola, we give our herbs the time they need to grow. But once they have been harvested, we have to work quickly. Because fresh herbs are sensitive, it is not good to keep them in transit for long periods of time. This is why we cultivate and process our herbs right here in Switzerland. The plants are sent to the Herb Center at the Ricola production site in Laufen, where they are dried, cleaned, cut, stored, and mixed. Next, the natural essences and active ingredients are extracted from the herbs and mixed together with all the other ingredients. This mixture is cooked, molded into cough drops and pearls, and left to cool. In other words, every single step of the Ricola production process takes place in Switzerland. Over two thirds of Ricola herb farmers have Bio Suisse certification. Our formula brings delicious flavour and soothing relief to treat both coughs and sore throats. Ricola provides relief at every stage of being sick.GLUTEN-FREE, LACTOSE-FREE VEGETARIAN COUGH DROPS: Ricola cough and sore throat lozenges are lactose-free, gluten-free, vegetarian and are made with natural flavorings only Cough drops for adults and children over 12 years of age.
