Difflam Lozenges for Throat and Mouth Pain Relief

 

You can use these medicated lozenges to treat painful conditions affecting your throat and mouth. Each lozenge contains benzydamine hydrochloride, which belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This active ingredient works locally where you need it most, providing targeted relief from inflammation and pain.

The lozenges dissolve slowly in your mouth, allowing the medicine to coat the affected areas thoroughly. This local action makes them particularly suitable for treating conditions like sore throats, mouth ulcers, and other inflammatory conditions of the mouth and throat. You can find additional throat and mouth care products in our ear, nose and throat collection.

 

How Benzydamine Hydrochloride Works in Your Mouth and Throat

 

When you suck on these lozenges, the benzydamine hydrochloride is released gradually and works directly on the inflamed tissues in your mouth and throat. This medicine reduces inflammation by blocking certain chemicals in your body that cause swelling, pain, and discomfort.

The local anti-inflammatory action helps reduce swelling in your throat tissues whilst also providing pain relief. Unlike some throat treatments that only mask symptoms temporarily, these difflam lozenges address the underlying inflammation that causes your discomfort.

 

Who Can Benefit from These Medicated Lozenges

 

These lozenges are suitable for adults and children over 6 years of age who are experiencing throat or mouth pain. They are particularly helpful if you have developed inflammation following dental procedures, or if you're dealing with painful mouth ulcers or a sore throat.

You may find these lozenges beneficial if you experience:

• Sore throat with inflammation and pain
• Mouth ulcers or oral lesions
• Post-dental procedure discomfort
• General mouth and throat inflammation

 

Why Choose Medicated Lozenges for Throat Pain

 

The lozenge format allows for prolonged contact between the active ingredient and the affected tissues in your mouth and throat. This extended contact time means the medicine can work more effectively than treatments that are quickly swallowed or washed away.

Each lozenge provides a measured dose of benzydamine hydrochloride, ensuring you receive consistent treatment with each use. The slow dissolution also means you get sustained relief rather than just temporary symptom masking.

 

Storage and Clinical Considerations

 

You should store these lozenges in a cool, dry place below 25°C and keep them in their original packaging until use. Always check the expiry date before taking any lozenge, and do not use them if the packaging appears damaged or tampered with.

If your symptoms persist for more than 7 days or worsen during treatment, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist. These lozenges are not suitable for everyone, particularly if you have certain allergies or medical conditions affecting your mouth or throat.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.
