Why are throat syrups with Icelandic lichen a HIT among patients? Medical products from Gofarm in the private label formula (B2B)
Throat syrups are products with a wide range of indications and high sales potential, which makes them an attractive product to introduce into the portfolio. Patients are looking for effective and proven solutions for seasonal infections and dry throat of various origins in adults and children. First of all, they reach for syrups, which, thanks to their convenient form, can serve patients quickly and safely.
Syrup in the product portfolio – why is it worth it?
Here are some reasons why it is worth introducing syrups to your brand’s product portfolio:
- A large base of potential customers – patients: Throat syrups are products commonly used in various age groups, especially in children, for whom drinking a syrup is easier than, for example, using a lozenge.
- Seasonality… all year round: The demand for throat syrups increases in the fall and winter, when colds and flu are more common. However, also in spring, when weather conditions often change, patients are exposed to an increased risk of infection. In summer, however, our throats experience changing temperatures and air conditioning, which contributes to dry mucous membranes.
- Various indications: Gofarm’s portfolio includes two syrups based on Icelandic lichen (in a glass and plastic bottle), which have indications for many ailments. They moisturize the mouth, throat and larynx, are recommended for use during pharyngitis, hoarseness and dry throat, help reduce irritation and soothe inflammation. A new product will soon be added to the Gofarm portfolio – honey-based syrup for dry and wet cough (available at the end of 2024).
- Possibility of creating product lines: Syrups are a great basis for product lines intended for use on the throat. Can be combined with other products such as moisturizing lozenges or sprays. We offer a line with Icelandic lichen (which includes two syrups, lozenges and a throat spray) – SEE.
- Compliance with regulations on medical devices: Syrups with Icelandic lichen as a medical device are covered by new regulations (MDR 2017/745) and can be sold thanks to transitional periods until the end of 2028.
- Private label formula, i.e. ready-made products under your brand: This is a proven and quick way to introduce new products to the market. By using this business model, you save your time, resources and benefit from the knowledge of experienced specialists. Product formulas are created for many months in research and development laboratories and manufactured from proven, highest quality raw materials. Gofarm will provide you with a finished product branded with your brand, with complete documentation necessary to introduce the products to the market.

Icelandic lichen syrup from Gofarm is the only medical product in Poland and on EU markets in the form of syrup based on fruit juices, without sugar, that has a signed certification agreement in accordance with MDR 2017/745.
It is a product that moisturizes and coats the mucous membranes of the throat. Its formula reduces irritation and soothes inflammation in the throat. The main ingredients primarily moisturize the throat and coat its mucous membrane, thus eliminating hoarseness or a feeling of dryness.

- Recommended use for pharyngitis, hoarseness and dry throat.
- It helps reduce irritation and soothe inflammation of the mouth and throat.
