Medica Throat Tablets Lemon (Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride, Lidocaine Hydrochloride)

Medica Throat Tablets Lemon combines an antiseptic and a local anesthetic to address infections and pain in the oral cavity.

• Sore throat: Provides antimicrobial action and numbing to reduce discomfort.
• Oral mucosal irritation: Cleanses the area while soothing irritation.
• Throat pain: Delivers local anesthesia to lessen pain sensations.
• Mouth infections: Reduces bacterial load and alleviates associated symptoms.

• Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride disrupts microbial cell membranes, leading to loss of integrity and cell death, while Lidocaine Hydrochloride blocks voltage‑gated sodium channels in peripheral nerves, preventing depolarisation and producing local anaesthesia. The combined actions give both antiseptic and analgesic effects on the oromucosal surfaces.

Adverse reactions may occur with any medicinal product and should be monitored.
