DIFFLAM 3mg Lozenges - Lemon Flavour for Throat Pain Relief

 

DIFFLAM 3mg lozenges contain benzydamine hydrochloride, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine that provides targeted relief for sore throats and mouth pain. Each lemon-flavoured lozenge delivers 3mg of the active ingredient directly to the affected area, helping to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief where you need it most.

These lozenges work locally in your mouth and throat, making them particularly suitable for conditions such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and other inflammatory conditions of the mouth and throat. The convenient lozenge format allows the medicine to dissolve slowly, providing sustained contact with the affected tissues.

 

How Benzydamine Hydrochloride Works in Your Throat

 

Benzydamine hydrochloride belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). When you dissolve a difflam lozenges in your mouth, the active ingredient works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in your body that cause inflammation, pain, and swelling.

Unlike systemic pain relief medicines that work throughout your body, benzydamine provides localised action. This means the medicine concentrates its effects directly on the inflamed tissues in your mouth and throat, whilst minimising exposure to the rest of your body.

 

Who Can Benefit from Anti-Inflammatory Throat Lozenges

 

These lozenges are suitable for adults and children over 6 years of age who are experiencing throat pain and inflammation. They are particularly helpful for people who need targeted relief without the systemic effects of oral pain relief medicines. Many people find relief from various cold and flu symptoms that affect the throat and mouth area.

DIFFLAM lozenges may be appropriate for you if you experience:

  • Sore throat pain and inflammation
  • Discomfort from tonsillitis or pharyngitis
  • Mouth pain following dental procedures
  • Throat irritation from respiratory tract infections

 

Why Choose Localised Throat Treatment

 

The localised action of benzydamine lozenges offers several advantages over systemic pain relief. Because the medicine works directly at the site of inflammation, you may experience faster onset of relief for throat-specific symptoms. The lozenge format also helps to keep your throat moist whilst delivering the active ingredient.

This targeted approach means the medicine concentrates where it's needed most, whilst reducing the amount of active ingredient that enters your bloodstream compared to tablets or capsules that work throughout your entire body.

 

Storage and Clinical Considerations

 

Store your lozenges below 25°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Do not use if you are allergic to benzydamine hydrochloride or any other ingredients in the lozenges. If you have asthma, kidney problems, or are taking other NSAIDs, speak to your pharmacist before use.

Each pack contains 20 lemon-flavoured lozenges, providing a convenient supply for managing throat pain and inflammation. The pleasant lemon flavour helps mask the medicinal taste whilst you allow each lozenge to dissolve slowly in your mouth.

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.

 

Recommended Dosage for Adults and Children

Adults and children over 12 years should dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth every 1.5 to 3 hours as required. Do not exceed 8 lozenges in 24 hours. Children aged 6 to 12 years should use one lozenge every 1.5 to 3 hours as required, with a maximum of 4 lozenges in 24 hours.

Allow each lozenge to dissolve completely in your mouth rather than chewing or swallowing it whole. This ensures the medicine has adequate contact time with the affected throat and mouth tissues. Do not exceed the stated dose, and if symptoms persist for more than 7 days, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

How to Use Your Throat Lozenges Effectively

Take the lozenges at the first sign of throat discomfort for optimal effectiveness. Place the lozenge in your mouth and allow it to dissolve slowly, moving it around your mouth to ensure even distribution of the medicine. Avoid eating or drinking for at least 15 minutes after the lozenge has completely dissolved to maintain the local effect.

If you forget to take a lozenge, take one as soon as you remember, then continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed lozenge. Space your doses evenly throughout the day for consistent relief.

Understanding Potential Side Effects

Like all medicines, DIFFLAM 3mg lozenges can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

If you experience persistent throat problems, you may also benefit from exploring other ear nose throat treatment options available.

The most commonly reported side effects include numbness or tingling in the mouth and throat, which usually resolves quickly after the lozenge dissolves. Some people may experience a temporary burning sensation when first using the lozenges.

Known side effects may include:

  • Numbness or tingling in mouth and throat
  • Burning or stinging sensation in the mouth
  • Dry mouth
  • Altered taste sensation
  • Throat irritation
  • Nausea
  • Skin rash or allergic reactions
  • Swelling of face, lips, or tongue
  • Difficulty breathing or swallowing
  • Dizziness
  • Headache
  • Stomach upset

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.
