Product Information
Full details
This guide is for adults and children aged six years and over experiencing mouth and throat discomfort such as painful throats or mouth ulcers. Difflam Orange & Honey Lozenges provide targeted relief by reducing inflammation and irritation thanks to the active ingredient benzydamine. A potential caveat is that the lozenges are intended for symptomatic relief and do not treat the underlying cause of the condition. Key features include anti-inflammatory action, a pleasant orange and honey flavour, and suitability for children from six years old.

FAQs
How many Difflam lozenges can I take per day?
Adults and children aged 12 years and over can take up to 6 lozenges per day. Children aged 6-11 years can take up to 4 lozenges per day. Always dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth and wait 2-3 hours before taking another.
Can children under six years old use these lozenges?
No, Difflam Orange & Honey Lozenges are suitable for children aged six years and over. Please consult a doctor or pharmacist for advice on products suitable for younger children.
What is the active ingredient and what does it do?
The active ingredient is benzydamine hydrochloride. It has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and local anaesthetic properties to help reduce pain and inflammation in the mouth and throat.
How long should I dissolve the lozenge for?
You should allow the lozenge to dissolve slowly in your mouth. Do not chew or swallow it whole. This allows the active ingredient to work directly on the affected area.
Can I use these lozenges if I have a fever?
These lozenges are primarily for pain and inflammation relief. If you have a fever, it's advisable to consult a doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
What should I do if I accidentally swallow a lozenge whole?
If a lozenge is swallowed whole, it is unlikely to cause significant harm, but it will not be as effective. Try to take the next lozenge as directed. If you experience any discomfort, seek medical advice.
Are there any potential side effects?
Like all medicines, Difflam lozenges can cause side effects, though not everyone gets them. Potential side effects include numbness or tingling of the mouth, and rarely, allergic reactions. If you experience any adverse effects, stop use and consult a healthcare professional.
Troubleshooting
Lozenge does not dissolve properly
Ensure the lozenge is placed on the tongue and allowed to dissolve slowly without chewing. Avoid drinking immediately after taking a lozenge.
Experiencing an allergic reaction
Discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention if you experience symptoms such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing.
Symptoms do not improve after 3 days
Consult a doctor or healthcare professional if your sore throat or mouth condition does not improve within three days, or if symptoms worsen.
Unpleasant taste or sensation
While designed with a pleasant flavour, individual taste perception varies. If the taste is a significant issue, consider alternative forms of relief if available and appropriate, or consult a pharmacist.
