Indications & Clinical Uses

Medica Keeltabletten Honing, containing chlorhexidine and lidocaine, is used as an oral antiseptic for conditions affecting the throat and oral mucosa.

  • Sore throat: reduces microbial load and eases pain in acute pharyngitis.
  • Oral mucosal infections: helps control bacterial growth on inflamed oral tissues.
  • Minor oral ulcerations: provides antiseptic protection and temporary numbing to facilitate comfort and healing.

How It Works

  • Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride disrupts bacterial cell membranes by binding to phospholipids, leading to leakage of intracellular components and cell death. Lidocaine Hydrochloride blocks voltage‑gated sodium channels in peripheral nerves, preventing depolarisation and producing a reversible local anaesthetic effect. The combination delivers simultaneous antimicrobial activity and topical pain relief on the oral mucosa.

Side Effects

Adverse reactions may occur following use of Medica Keeltabletten Honing.

Common Side Effects

  • Altered taste sensation: temporary metallic or bitter taste.
  • Oral irritation: mild burning or tingling in the mouth.
  • Transient numbness: brief loss of sensation at the site of application.
  • Mild nausea: occasional stomach discomfort.
  • Headache: low‑grade headache in some users.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Allergic reaction: rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
  • Anaphylaxis: severe, rapid‑onset hypersensitivity requiring emergency care.
  • Severe oral ulceration: extensive mucosal breakdown beyond expected healing.
  • Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: rare but serious skin and mucous membrane disorder.
  • Contact dermatitis: irritation of lips or surrounding skin.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Medica Keeltabletten Honing, consider the following safety measures.

  • Hypersensitivity: avoid if you have known allergy to chlorhexidine, lidocaine, or any excipients.
  • Prolonged use: limit treatment duration to the period prescribed; extended use may disrupt normal oral flora.
  • Oral lesions: do not apply to extensive open wounds without medical advice.
  • Pediatric use: consult a healthcare professional before giving to children.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: discuss with a physician as safety data are limited.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25°C in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Medica Keeltabletten Honing may interact with other medicines or products.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent topical anesthetics: may increase systemic lidocaine exposure.
  • Additional chlorhexidine products: can cause excessive mucosal irritation.
  • Alcohol‑based mouthwashes: may reduce antiseptic efficacy and increase irritation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Systemic antiarrhythmic agents: lidocaine absorption could potentiate cardiac effects.
  • Certain antibiotics (e.g., metronidazole): monitor for enhanced local irritation.
  • Anticoagulants: rare reports of increased bleeding with extensive oral ulceration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Medica Keeltabletten Honing is an over‑the‑counter oral tablet that combines chlorhexidine, an antiseptic, with lidocaine, a local anaesthetic. It is intended to reduce microbial growth and provide temporary pain relief for sore throat, oral mucosal infections, and minor mouth ulcerations.

Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride binds to bacterial cell membranes, disrupting their integrity and causing leakage of intracellular contents, which leads to cell death. This broad‑spectrum antimicrobial action helps control infection on the oral mucosa.

The appropriate dose and duration 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.

Safety data for chlorhexidine and lidocaine in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their physician before using this product.

Enquiries can be submitted on the product page at gnhindia.com by specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Unlike single‑ingredient antiseptic lozenges, Medica combines chlorhexidine’s potent antimicrobial activity with lidocaine’s rapid local anaesthesia. This dual action offers both infection control and immediate pain relief, which many plain chlorhexidine or plain lidocaine products do not provide together.

Store the tablets at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep them in the original blister pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain product stability.

The tablet is intended for oromucosal use. The patient places the tablet in the mouth and allows it to dissolve slowly, avoiding chewing or swallowing whole, to ensure optimal contact of the active ingredients with the oral mucosa.

Serious adverse reactions, although rare, include allergic responses such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, and anaphylaxis. Any signs of severe oral ulceration, Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, or systemic toxicity require immediate medical attention.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine, lidocaine, or any formulation excipients should avoid this product. It is also contraindicated in patients who require prolonged oral antiseptic therapy without medical supervision.
