Pulmoll has been a tried and true throat and cough lozenge for nearly 60 years and one of best known brands on the German market.
Invention and development
Pulmoll cough lozenges were invented by the French pharmacist Jacques Lafarge in 1946 right outside the gates of Paris. The brand name is derived from the Latin word ‘pulmonis’, which means lungs. The small lozenges were such a great success in France that shortly after their first appearance on the market other tastes were introduced as well. Ten years later, the Laboratoires Lafarge was already producing more than ten million tins per year.
The original Pulmoll is our Classic flavour, which is a combination of liquorice root, honey and menthol. The Classic lozenges were introduced to the German market in 1956.
The over-the-counter health product that was originally sold only in pharmacies is still produced today according to virtually the same recipe.
The soothing and good-tasting small lozenges in the eye-catching tin quickly became one of the most successful tinned lozenge brands in Germany.
At the beginning of the 1980s, Pulmoll introduced eight additional herbal and fruit varieties to the market.
Since 2012, our sugar-free Pulmoll lozenges contain the sugar substitute Stevia*, which is derived from nature and fruit juice concentrate has also been added to all of the fruit flavours.
Today the Pulmoll product range contains 18 varieties, which are mainly sold in pharmacies, drugstores and food retailers, as well as in many internet shops.
Pulmoll lozenges are available abroad since the 1980s.
In France, Greece, the Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Spain and meanwhile also in Eastern Europe and overseas fan bases exist. For many of them the soothing little helpers have become indispensable.
Therefore, the small tinned lozenges are famous far beyond the borders of Germany.
