Medica Comprimés Pour La Gorge Fraise (Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride, Lidocaine Hydrochloride)

Medica Comprimés Pour La Gorge Fraise combines an antiseptic and a local anesthetic to address infections and pain of the upper respiratory mucosa.

• Sore throat: provides symptomatic pain relief while reducing bacterial load in the throat.
• Oral mucosal pain: numbs painful lesions or irritation within the mouth.
• Mouth and throat infections: helps control microbial growth and alleviates associated discomfort.

• Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride disrupts bacterial cell membranes, leading to loss of membrane integrity and rapid antimicrobial activity. Lidocaine Hydrochloride blocks voltage‑gated sodium channels in peripheral nerve endings, preventing depolarisation and producing local anaesthesia. The combined actions give both antiseptic and analgesic effects at the site of application.
