Throat lozenges OK?

Anyone know if throat lozenges are OK?  I feel like it's not much different than a hard candy, so I would assume it's fine.  With the weather changing and the dry air my throat has been killing me.  I'm not sick or anything, but my throat is so dry and scratchy, it's awful and nothing seems to be helping.  I need my Ri.co.la!!!  I would call the doc and ask, but honestly I don't feel like it's worth it to leave a message and wait all afternoon for a callback about this lol.

    I've had a nasty cold for about 4 or 5 days now and have been using Halls cherry flavored cough drops since Saturday. I read the back of the package and it didn't say anything about not using if you're pregnant so I think they're fine.

    I just did a quick search just to be sure. Everything I could find says they're fine. Ricola was mentioned specifically and people said "as long as they're used as a remedy for cough as opposed to an herbal supplement, and only recommended dosage is used, they're fine."

    *edited to add more info

    My naturopath said ricola was fine during a cold, along with mucinex (no D) and a pregnancy safe sleep-aid called unisom (if needed).

    Thanks ladies!  I definitely don't have a cold, just a yucky sore/dry throat that needs some relief so I'm not coughing all day at work scaring my co-workers!
