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

Medica Comprimés combines an antiseptic and a local anaesthetic to address infections and pain in the oral cavity.

• Sore throat: reduces bacterial colonisation and eases pain associated with pharyngitis.
• Oral mucosal irritation: cleanses the mucosa and diminishes irritation from minor injuries or inflammation.
• Mouth pain: provides topical anaesthesia to alleviate discomfort from ulcers or dental procedures.

• Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride disrupts bacterial cell membranes by binding to phospholipids, leading to leakage of intracellular components and microbial death. Lidocaine Hydrochloride blocks voltage‑gated sodium channels in peripheral nerves, preventing depolarisation and providing local anaesthetic effect, thereby reducing pain perception in the oral mucosa.

Adverse reactions may occur with oromucosal use of antiseptic‑anaesthetic lozenges.

Common Side Effects

• Altered taste: transient metallic or bitter sensation.
• Mild oral irritation: temporary burning or tingling.
• Numbness of the mouth floor: short‑lasting loss of sensation.
• Localised rash or redness: mild hypersensitivity at the site of contact.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

• Anaphylactic reaction: rapid onset of swelling, difficulty breathing, or hives.
• Severe oral ulceration: extensive mucosal erosion beyond expected irritation.
• Persistent numbness: prolonged loss of sensation indicating possible nerve involvement.

Use of Medica Comprimés should follow professional guidance and consider patient‑specific factors.

• Pregnancy: consult a healthcare professional; safety data are limited.
• Breastfeeding: assess risk versus benefit before use.
• Known allergy: avoid if hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine, lidocaine, or excipients is documented.
• Age restrictions: not recommended for children under the age specified by the prescriber.
• Interactions: monitor concurrent use of other topical anaesthetics or oral antiseptics.
• Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain in original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Potential drug interactions should be evaluated before initiating therapy.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

• Concurrent topical anaesthetics: may increase systemic lidocaine exposure.
• Alcohol‑based mouthwashes: can reduce chlorhexidine efficacy and increase irritation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

• Systemic antibiotics: may alter oral flora and affect antiseptic performance.
• Anticoagulants: chlorhexidine may potentiate bleeding risk with prolonged use.
• Other mucosal agents: assess for additive irritation or sensitisation.
