Overview

Green apple + menthol refers to a combination product commonly found in over-the-counter (OTC) lozenges and cough drops. These products typically contain menthol as the active pharmaceutical ingredient and use "green apple" as a flavoring agent. Menthol acts as an antitussive (cough suppressant) and provides a cooling sensation that helps relieve minor throat irritation and temporarily suppresses cough associated with the common cold or inhaled irritants. The primary mechanism of action is local anesthetic effect on the mucosa of the throat, leading to reduced irritation and cough reflex[5][6]. Some formulations may include additional ingredients such as honey or other actives for added soothing effects[2][6]. These products are not intended for long-term use or treatment of underlying disease but provide symptomatic relief.
