Morrisons Max Strength Antiseptic Honey & Lemon Flavour Throat (Benzalkonium Chloride Solution, Hexylresorcinol)

Benzalkonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound that disrupts the cell membranes of bacteria, viruses and fungi, causing leakage of cellular contents and death of the microorganism. In combination with hexylresorcinol, it provides a broad antimicrobial effect.

The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, severity of symptoms and clinical judgment. Patients should follow the instructions provided on the product label or by their clinician.

Safety data for benzalkonium chloride and hexylresorcinol in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult their healthcare provider before using the product to weigh potential risks and benefits.

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.

Compared with simple saline or simple menthol lozenges, this formulation combines benzalkonium chloride and hexylresorcinol, offering both membrane disruption and protein denaturation for a stronger antimicrobial effect. It also includes honey and lemon flavour for palatability, whereas many alternatives may lack such taste masking.

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

The product is taken orally as directed, typically by allowing the liquid to coat the throat or by dissolving a lozenge slowly. Patients should avoid swallowing immediately to allow the antiseptic to act on the mucosal surfaces.

The most serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, persistent throat swelling that could compromise the airway, and significant ulceration of the oral mucosa. Any signs of these reactions require immediate medical attention.

Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to benzalkonium chloride, hexylresorcinol or any excipients in the formulation should avoid using it. Children under six years of age should not use it unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.
