Fisherman's Friend Honey & Lemon Sugar Free Lozenges First developed in 1865 for fisherman working in the cold, harsh conditions of the North Sea & Arctic Circle, Fisherman's Friend lozenges contain menthol to help relieve cough, cold & bronchial symptoms. Just as good in summer as in winter, not only do they fight coughs, colds, sore throats & sniffles, consumers proclaim Fisherman's Friend to be their remedy of choice for tackling the itchy, leaky eyes & runny nose caused by pesky summer allergies such as hayfever.
