Indications & Clinical Uses

Lidofon Spray Mentol, containing chlorhexidine and lidocaine, is used for conditions affecting the oral mucosa where antiseptic action and local pain relief are needed.

  • Oral mucosal infections: reduces bacterial colonisation and alleviates associated discomfort.
  • Oral ulcers: provides antiseptic protection and numbs the ulcer area to lessen pain.
  • Gingival inflammation: helps control microbial growth and eases pain in inflamed gums.

How It Works

  • Chlorhexidine gluconate binds to bacterial cell membranes, disrupting their integrity and causing cell death, while lidocaine hydrochloride blocks voltage‑gated sodium channels in peripheral nerves, preventing depolarisation and producing local anaesthesia. The combined action delivers antimicrobial activity together with rapid pain relief on the oral mucosa.

Side Effects

Lidofon Spray Mentol may cause local reactions when applied to the oral mucosa.

Common Side Effects

  • Altered taste sensation: temporary metallic or bitter taste.
  • Mild burning or stinging: brief discomfort at the application site.
  • Transient numbness: short‑lasting loss of sensation where sprayed.
  • Dry mouth: reduced salivation after use.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe allergic reaction: swelling, hives, or anaphylaxis.
  • Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis: rare severe skin reactions.
  • Persistent numbness or mucosal ulceration: prolonged loss of sensation or tissue damage.
  • Systemic toxicity: signs of lidocaine overdose such as dizziness or cardiac effects (very rare).

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Lidofon Spray Mentol, consider the following safety measures.

  • Hypersensitivity: avoid if you have known allergy to chlorhexidine, lidocaine, or any formulation components.
  • Extensive lesions: do not apply to large open wounds or severely inflamed areas without medical advice.
  • Frequency: use only as directed; excessive application may increase irritation.
  • Eye contact: keep the product away from eyes; if accidental exposure occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Pediatric use: consult a healthcare professional before use in children.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct heat.

Avoid Interactions

Lidofon Spray Mentol can interact with other medicines or products applied to the oral cavity.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent topical anesthetics: may lead to additive lidocaine toxicity.
  • Other chlorhexidine‑containing products: increased risk of mucosal irritation.
  • Systemic lidocaine formulations in patients with lidocaine allergy.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Alcohol‑based mouthwashes: may enhance burning sensation.
  • Anticoagulant therapy: monitor for any unusual bleeding if extensive mucosal injury occurs.
  • Antihistamines: may mask early signs of an allergic reaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lidofon Spray Mentol is an oromucosal spray that combines an antiseptic (chlorhexidine) with a local anaesthetic (lidocaine) to treat oral mucosal infections, mouth ulcers, sore mouth and gingival inflammation by reducing bacterial load and providing pain relief.

Chlorhexidine gluconate disrupts bacterial cell membranes, leading to leakage of intracellular contents and cell death. This broad‑spectrum antimicrobial action helps control infection on the oral mucosa when applied as a spray.

The appropriate dose and frequency are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the severity of the condition and patient factors. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label.

Safety data for chlorhexidine and lidocaine in pregnancy or lactation are limited. Use only if clearly needed and after consulting a qualified healthcare provider, who can weigh potential benefits against any possible risks.

Submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Compared with single‑ingredient antiseptic sprays, Lidofon combines chlorhexidine’s potent antimicrobial activity with lidocaine’s rapid local anaesthesia, offering both infection control and immediate pain relief, which many standard antiseptic sprays lack.

Store at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the spray in its original container, protect it from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat to maintain product stability.

The spray is applied directly to the affected oral mucosal area, typically by directing the nozzle toward the lesion and delivering a short burst. Patients should avoid swallowing large amounts and follow the prescriber’s dosing schedule.

Serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, rare skin conditions like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, and prolonged numbness or mucosal ulceration. Any signs of systemic toxicity or persistent adverse effects require immediate medical attention.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine, lidocaine, or any excipients in the formulation should avoid using the product. It is also contraindicated for patients with extensive oral lesions without medical supervision.
