Difflam Spray

Difflam Spray for Mouth and Throat Pain Relief

You can use this topical anti-inflammatory medicine to treat painful conditions affecting your mouth and throat. The active ingredient benzydamine hydrochloride works locally at the site of application to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief. This makes it particularly effective for conditions such as mouth ulcers, sore throats, and dental pain.

The spray format allows you to target the affected area directly, delivering the medicine precisely where you need it most. Each spray delivers a measured dose, making it easy to control how much medicine you apply.

How Benzydamine Hydrochloride Works in Your Mouth

Benzydamine hydrochloride belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). When you spray it onto the affected area, it penetrates the tissues and blocks the production of substances that cause pain and inflammation.

Unlike systemic pain relief medicines that work throughout your body, this medicine acts locally where you apply it. This targeted approach means you can achieve effective pain relief with minimal absorption into your bloodstream, reducing the risk of systemic side effects.

Who Can Benefit from This Throat and Mouth Treatment

This medicine is suitable for adults and children over 6 years of age who experience painful inflammatory conditions of the mouth and throat. You might find it particularly helpful if you suffer from recurrent mouth ulcers or need relief from dental procedures.

The following conditions commonly respond well to treatment:

• Mouth ulcers and aphthous stomatitis
• Sore throat and pharyngitis
• Pain following dental procedures
• Gingivitis and gum inflammation

Why Choose a Preservative-Free Formula

This difflam spray formulation is designed to minimise irritation in your already sensitive mouth and throat tissues. The absence of certain preservatives reduces the likelihood of additional irritation or allergic reactions, which is particularly important when treating inflamed areas.

The spray mechanism also helps maintain the sterility of the remaining solution without relying heavily on preservatives, as each application is delivered without contaminating the contents of the bottle.

Clinical Suitability and Storage Requirements

You should store this medicine at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the bottle upright and ensure the spray mechanism is clean after each use to maintain hygiene and proper function.

The medicine is suitable for short-term use, typically for periods of up to 7 days unless your doctor or pharmacist advises otherwise. If your symptoms persist or worsen during treatment, you should seek medical advice promptly.
