Neo-Angin (Amylmetacresol, Levomenthol, 2,4 Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol)

Neo-Angin is an oral antiseptic that acts locally on the throat and oral mucosa to reduce discomfort.

• Sore throat: provides symptomatic relief of pain and irritation in acute pharyngitis.
• Oral mucosal discomfort: eases burning or irritation caused by minor lesions or dryness.
• Pharyngitis: helps reduce microbial load and associated discomfort during early infection.

• Amylmetacresol and 2,4‑dichlorobenzyl alcohol disrupt microbial cell membranes, producing a bactericidal effect on the oropharyngeal flora. Levomenthol activates cold‑sensitive TRPM8 receptors, creating a cooling sensation and mild local analgesia that masks pain without systemic absorption.

Neo-Angin is generally well tolerated, but local reactions can occur.

Common Side Effects

• Altered taste: transient metallic or menthol taste.
• Mild oral irritation: brief burning or tingling at the site of contact.
• Nausea: occasional mild stomach upset.
• Dizziness: rare, usually transient.
• Dry mouth: temporary reduction in salivation.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

• Allergic reaction: rash, swelling, or urticaria.
• Anaphylaxis: severe, rapid‑onset hypersensitivity requiring emergency care.
• Severe oral ulceration: persistent lesions beyond normal irritation.
• Angioedema: swelling of lips, tongue, or throat.
• Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: rare severe skin reaction.

Neo-Angin should be used according to label directions and professional guidance.

• Age restriction: not recommended for children under 6 years without medical advice.
• Hypersensitivity: avoid if known allergy to any ingredient.
• Pregnancy: consult a healthcare professional before use; safety not established.
• Breastfeeding: discuss with a clinician; limited data available.
• Frequency: do not exceed the recommended number of lozenges per day.
• Storage: Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Neo-Angin may interact with other topical agents applied to the oral cavity.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

• Concurrent use with other menthol‑containing lozenges or sprays: may increase irritation.
• Simultaneous use of alcohol‑based mouthwashes: can enhance burning sensation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

• Use with systemic antibiotics: may mask signs of infection progression.
• Combination with strong local anesthetics: could intensify numbness.
• Co‑administration with acidic beverages: may reduce antiseptic efficacy.
