Mentolat

Mentolat is a term primarily used in Chile, and less frequently in other parts of Latin America, referring to a cough drop or lozenge containing menthol. The term is often used generically to describe any throat lozenge with a cooling or decongestant effect due to menthol, regardless of the specific brand. The name derives from the perceived and actual presence of menthol as the active ingredient providing relief from sore throats and coughs. Mentolat products are commonly available in pharmacies and convenience stores.
