Description

Ultra Chloraseptic Anaesthetic Throat Spray Honey & Lemon – 15ml

Ultra Chloraseptic Anaesthetic Throat Spray Honey & Lemon is a fast-acting throat spray designed to relieve the pain and discomfort of a sore throat. It contains benzocaine, a local anaesthetic, and comes in a pleasant honey and lemon flavour.

⸻

How It Works

The active ingredient, benzocaine, is a local anaesthetic that works by temporarily numbing the nerve endings in the throat. This helps to reduce the pain and soreness caused by conditions such as a sore throat or mouth ulcers, providing fast, targeted relief directly at the source.

⸻

Directions for Use

Adults and children aged 6 years and over: Direct the nozzle to the back of the throat and press the pump firmly to release one spray. Use up to 3 sprays per dose, and repeat every 2–3 hours as needed. Do not use more than 6 times in 24 hours. This spray is not recommended 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.

Interactions

Benzocaine is not known to interact significantly with most common medicines when used as directed as a topical throat spray. However, caution is advised in patients taking medicines known to cause methaemoglobinaemia, such as certain antibiotics (e.g., dapsone) or nitrates. Tell your PillSorted pharmacist or doctor about all medicines you are currently taking, including herbal remedies and supplements.

⸻

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

There is limited data on the use of benzocaine throat spray during pregnancy or breastfeeding. While absorption from topical use is expected to be minimal, caution is advised. Speak to your doctor or PillSorted pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.

⸻

Alcohol

There is no known clinically significant interaction between Ultra Chloraseptic Throat Spray and alcohol. However, as alcohol may further irritate a sore throat, it is generally advisable to avoid alcohol while your symptoms persist.
