Medica Spray Pour La Gorge Menthol (Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Lidocaine Hydrochloride)

Medica Spray Pour La Gorge Menthol combines an antiseptic and a local anaesthetic to address infections and pain in the oral cavity.

• Sore throat: Reduces bacterial load and offers temporary pain relief.
• Mouth ulcer pain: Provides antiseptic protection while numbing the ulcer area.
• Oral infections: Helps control microbial growth and eases discomfort during treatment.

• Chlorhexidine Gluconate disrupts bacterial cell membranes, leading to loss of intracellular contents and cell death, while Lidocaine Hydrochloride blocks voltage‑gated sodium channels in peripheral nerves, preventing depolarisation and producing local anaesthesia. The combined actions give antimicrobial effect and temporary pain relief on the oral mucosa.

Adverse reactions may occur with any topical oral product. Most are mild and reversible.
