Neoseptolete Combi Cola (Benzydamine Hydrochloride, Cetylpyridinium Chloride)

Neoseptolete Combi Cola, containing benzydamine hydrochloride and cetylpyridinium chloride, is used for conditions affecting the oral mucosa and throat.

• Sore throat: reduces pain and inflammation in the pharyngeal tissues.
• Oral mucosal inflammation: alleviates redness and swelling of the oral lining.
• Mouth ulcer pain: provides symptomatic relief of ulcer‑associated discomfort.

• Benzydamine hydrochloride acts locally by inhibiting the release of pro‑inflammatory cytokines such as IL‑1β and TNF‑α and stabilising cell membranes, which reduces pain and swelling. Cetylpyridinium chloride is a cationic surfactant that disrupts microbial cell membranes, producing a broad‑spectrum antiseptic effect that limits bacterial colonisation in the oral cavity.

Neoseptolete Combi Cola may cause local or systemic adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects

• Taste alteration: temporary metallic or bitter taste in the mouth.
• Mild oral irritation: slight burning or tingling sensation.
