Ultra Chloraseptic Anaesthetic Throat Spray Cherry – 15ml

Ultra Chloraseptic Anaesthetic Throat Spray Cherry is a fast-acting throat spray designed to provide temporary relief from sore throat pain. It contains benzocaine, a local anaesthetic, and comes in a pleasant cherry flavour.

How It Works

The active ingredient benzocaine works by temporarily numbing the nerve endings in the lining of your throat. This reduces the sensation of pain and discomfort, making it easier to swallow and speak while your throat recovers.

Directions for Use

For adults and children aged 6 years and over: spray 3 times directly to the back of the throat. Repeat every 2 to 3 hours as needed, up to a maximum of 6 doses in 24 hours. This product is not suitable for children under 6 years of age. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
