Indications & Clinical Uses

Medica Keeltabletten Aardbei combines an antiseptic and a local anaesthetic to manage conditions of the oral mucosa.

  • Oral mucosal infections: reduces microbial load and eases discomfort.
  • Sore throat: provides symptomatic relief together with antimicrobial action.
  • Mouth ulcer pain: numbs the area and helps prevent secondary infection.

How It Works

  • Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride 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 actions give both antimicrobial and analgesic effects on the oral mucosa.

Side Effects

Adverse reactions may occur with any oral antiseptic or local anaesthetic.

Common Side Effects

  • Altered taste sensation.
  • Mild oral irritation or burning.
  • Transient numbness of the tongue or palate.
  • Nausea or mild stomach upset.
  • Headache.
  • Dysgeusia (metallic taste).

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Allergic reactions such as angioedema or anaphylaxis.
  • Severe mucosal ulceration or necrosis.
  • Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis.
  • Systemic lidocaine toxicity (e.g., seizures, cardiac arrhythmia) in case of overdose.

Precautions & Warnings

Use Medica Keeltabletten Aardbei only as directed by a healthcare professional.

  • Hypersensitivity: avoid if known allergy to chlorhexidine or lidocaine.
  • Cardiac conditions: use with caution in patients with conduction disorders.
  • Frequency: do not exceed the prescribed number of lozenges per day.
  • Age restrictions: not recommended for children under 6 years unless advised by a clinician.
  • Pregnancy and lactation: consult a healthcare provider before use.
  • Store below 25°C: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Potential drug interactions should be reviewed before initiating therapy.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent systemic lidocaine (IV/IV infusion) may increase risk of toxicity.
  • Use with other chlorhexidine‑containing oral products may heighten mucosal irritation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Antihistamines may mask early signs of an allergic reaction.
  • Beta‑blockers can affect lidocaine metabolism, requiring monitoring.
  • CYP450 inhibitors (e.g., erythromycin) may modestly increase lidocaine plasma levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Medica Keeltabletten Aardbei is an oral lozenge that combines chlorhexidine, an antiseptic, with lidocaine, a local anaesthetic. It is used to manage oral mucosal infections, relieve sore throat symptoms, and reduce pain associated with mouth ulcers.

Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride binds to bacterial cell membranes, disrupting their structure and causing cell death. This antimicrobial action reduces the bacterial load in the mouth, helping to control infections and prevent secondary complications.

The appropriate dose and frequency are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s condition, age, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not exceed the recommended amount.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their healthcare provider before using this product. The prescriber will weigh potential benefits against any risks to the mother and infant and decide if it is appropriate.

Enquiries can be submitted on the product page at gnhindia.com. Provide the required quantity and institutional credentials. GNH India will respond with pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements), and necessary import documentation.

Unlike single‑ingredient antiseptic mouthwashes, this lozenge adds lidocaine for local pain relief. The combination offers both antimicrobial activity and immediate numbing, which can be advantageous for patients needing rapid symptom control.

Store the lozenges below 25 °C in their original packaging, protecting them from moisture and direct sunlight. This helps maintain potency and prevents degradation of the active ingredients.

The product is taken orally as a lozenge. Allow it to dissolve slowly in the mouth without chewing, ensuring contact with the oral mucosa for optimal antiseptic and anaesthetic effect.

Serious risks include allergic reactions such as angioedema or anaphylaxis, severe mucosal ulceration, and rare systemic lidocaine toxicity, which can cause seizures or cardiac arrhythmias if excessive amounts are absorbed.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine, lidocaine, or any excipients in the lozenge should avoid it. It is also not recommended for children under six years of age unless specifically directed by a clinician.
