Humex Mal De Gorge Orange (Biclotymol)

Humex Mal De Gorge Orange is indicated for the symptomatic relief of throat discomfort.

• Relief of sore throat (pharyngitis) caused by viral or mild bacterial irritation.
• Alleviation of mouth and throat irritation due to dryness or minor inflammation.
• Supportive care during the early stages of upper respiratory tract infections.
• Use as a local antiseptic to reduce bacterial colonisation in the oral cavity.

• Biclotymol exerts its effect by acting as a local antiseptic in the oral cavity and pharynx. It penetrates bacterial cell membranes, disrupting membrane integrity and inhibiting microbial enzymes, which reduces bacterial colonisation. The compound also exhibits mild anti‑inflammatory activity, helping to diminish local swelling and irritation associated with sore throat without being absorbed systemically in significant amounts.

Adverse reactions to Humex Mal De Gorge Orange are generally mild and limited to the site of application.

Common

• Transient burning or tingling sensation in the mouth.
• Mild alteration of taste during and shortly after use.
• Temporary oral dryness or mild irritation.
• Nausea or mild stomach discomfort if swallowed in excess.

Serious

• Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or urticaria.
• Angioedema involving the lips, tongue, or throat.
• Severe swelling or difficulty breathing indicating anaphylaxis.
• Persistent or worsening throat pain despite use.

Before using Humex Mal De Gorge Orange, consider the following safety points.

• Do not use if you have a known hypersensitivity to biclotymol or any excipients.
• Keep the product out of reach of children; accidental ingestion of large amounts may cause irritation.
• If symptoms persist for more than a few days or worsen, seek medical advice.
• Avoid using multiple oral antiseptic products simultaneously to reduce the risk of irritation.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Do not exceed the recommended amount; excessive use may increase the likelihood of local adverse effects.

Humex Mal De Gorge Orange may interact with other substances when used concurrently.

Avoid

• Simultaneous use of other topical oral antiseptics (e.g., chlorhexidine mouthwash) that could increase mucosal irritation.
• Ingestion of alcoholic beverages immediately after use, as alcohol may enhance burning sensations.

Use with caution

• Medications that cause dry mouth (e.g., antihistamines, anticholinergics) because reduced saliva may heighten local irritation.
• Systemic antibiotics for throat infections; monitor for overlapping gastrointestinal side effects.
• Herbal or over‑the‑counter cough syrups containing menthol or similar irritants.
• Any product that alters oral pH, which could affect biclotymol’s antiseptic activity.
