What is the Difflam Sore Throat Rinse?
Difflam Sore Throat Rinse is a medicated mouthwash that provides targeted relief for throat pain and irritation. It is commonly used to alleviate the symptoms of sore throat, especially when caused by infections, such as colds or flu. It contains the active ingredient benzydamine hydrochloride, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), which helps reduce inflammation and pain in the throat. This rinse is easy to use and offers localized relief right where it’s needed.
How does the Difflam Sore Throat Rinse work?
Difflam Sore Throat Rinse works by reducing inflammation and numbing the pain. Benzydamine hydrochloride, the key active ingredient, works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body (prostaglandins) that cause inflammation. The rinse also has mild local anesthetic effects, which provide fast relief from sore throat symptoms, including pain and irritation.
- Adults and children over 12: Use 15 ml (about 1 tablespoon) of the rinse every 1.5-3 hours, depending on the severity of symptoms.
- Gargle or rinse for 30 seconds and then spit it out—do not swallow the solution.
- For best results, continue use for up to 7 days or as directed by your healthcare provider.
Common side effects include:
- Numbness or tingling in the mouth.
- Dry mouth or throat.
- Occasional mouth sores or irritation.
- In rare cases, allergic reactions such as rash or difficulty breathing may occur. If you experience any severe side effects, discontinue use and consult your doctor immediately.
