This anti-inflammatory and antiseptic solution is indicated for the relief of pain and inflammation in conditions affecting the mouth and throat, such as tonsillitis, sore throat, and oral ulcers. It may also be used to relieve discomfort following dental procedures or surgery involving the mouth or throat.

Benzydamine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators. It provides symptomatic relief but does not treat the underlying cause of inflammation, so prolonged use without medical advice is not recommended. Additionally, benzydamine has local anesthetic properties that contribute to its pain-relieving effect. Chlorhexidine is a broad-spectrum antiseptic that inhibits or destroys a wide range of bacteria responsible for infections of the mouth and throat. It also helps in the prevention and treatment of gingivitis and reduces dental plaque formation.

• This Anti-inflammatory Antiseptic Solution may be used as either a gargle (for throat conditions) or a mouth rinse (for oral lesions such as mouth ulcers, or as a short- term alternative to oral hygiene procedures)
• Can be used every 1.5-3 hours as needed (refer to packaging for dose instructions)
• Best used undiluted, however, may be diluted with water if stinging or burning occurs
