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.

How to Take Your Throat Lozenges Correctly

You should allow each lozenge to dissolve slowly in your mouth rather than chewing or swallowing it whole. Place the lozenge in your mouth and move it around gently with your tongue, allowing it to dissolve gradually over several minutes. This slow dissolution ensures the medicine has maximum contact time with the affected areas of your mouth and throat.

Do not eat or drink anything whilst the lozenge is dissolving, as this may reduce its effectiveness. Try to avoid swallowing your saliva immediately after the lozenge has dissolved to allow the medicine to continue working on the affected tissues.

Dosage Guidelines and Treatment Duration

Adults and children over 12 years can typically take one lozenge every 1-2 hours as needed, but you should not exceed the maximum daily dose stated on the packaging. Children aged 6-12 years may require different dosing, so always check the patient information leaflet or consult your pharmacist for age-appropriate guidance.

You should not use these lozenges for more than 7 days unless advised by your doctor or pharmacist. If your symptoms have not improved after this time, or if they worsen during treatment, seek medical advice. Space your doses evenly throughout the day and avoid taking lozenges just before meals, as this may reduce their local effect on your throat and mouth tissues.

Understanding Potential Side Effects

Like all medicines, Difflam 3mg Lozenges can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most people tolerate these lozenges well when used as directed, but you should be aware of possible reactions that may occur during treatment. If you experience any concerning symptoms, you can find additional support and information in our oral health collection .

The most commonly reported side effects include mild numbness or tingling in your mouth and throat, which usually resolves quickly after the lozenge has dissolved. Some people may also experience a temporary alteration in taste or slight irritation of the mouth tissues.

Possible side effects you might experience include:

Numbness or tingling sensation in mouth or throat
Temporary taste changes or metallic taste
Mild mouth or throat irritation
Dry mouth or increased thirst
Nausea or stomach discomfort
Allergic reactions such as rash or swelling
Difficulty swallowing or throat tightness
Burning sensation in mouth or throat
Headache or dizziness
Local tissue sensitivity or soreness

If you experience these or any other side effects, speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away. For more information about reporting side effects please see the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.
