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

Neo-Angin is an oral antiseptic lozenge that acts locally in the oropharynx to manage common throat conditions.

• Sore throat: provides symptomatic relief and reduces microbial load.
• Mouth and throat infections: helps control bacterial and viral agents causing infection.
• Oral discomfort: eases irritation and burning sensations in the mouth and throat.

• The combination of amylmetacresol, levomenthol and 2,4‑dichlorobenzyl alcohol exerts broad‑spectrum antimicrobial activity by disrupting microbial cell membranes, leading to loss of integrity and inhibition of viral replication within the oropharyngeal mucosa, thereby reducing infection and inflammation.

Neo-Angin may cause adverse reactions, most of which are mild and reversible.

Common Side Effects

• Altered taste sensation: temporary metallic or menthol taste.
• Mild oral irritation: slight burning or tingling in the mouth.
• Dry mouth: transient reduction in salivation.
• Nausea: occasional mild upset stomach.
• Throat discomfort: brief irritation after lozenge dissolution.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

• Allergic reaction: rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
• Severe oral ulceration: persistent sores beyond normal irritation.
• Anaphylaxis: rapid onset of systemic allergic response requiring emergency care.
• Persistent dysphagia: difficulty swallowing that does not resolve.
• Hypersensitivity bronchospasm: wheezing or shortness of breath after use.

Use Neo-Angin with awareness of the following safety considerations.

• Age restriction: not recommended for children under 2 years without medical advice.
• Pre‑existing conditions: avoid if you have known hypersensitivity to any component.
• Concurrent oral lesions: use cautiously if you have open sores or ulcers.
• Pregnancy and lactation: consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Drug interactions: discuss all current medications with your prescriber.
• Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain in original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Neo-Angin may interact with other agents that affect the oral mucosa or systemic absorption.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

• Other oral antiseptics: concurrent use may increase irritation risk.
• Strong CYP450 inhibitors: could alter metabolism of levomenthol, though clinical significance is low.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

• Antihistamines: may mask mild allergic reactions.
• Saliva‑reducing drugs (e.g., anticholinergics): could exacerbate dry mouth.
• Alcohol‑containing products: may intensify burning sensation.
• Herbal lozenges with similar actives: monitor for additive effects.
