Description

Ultra Chloraseptic Anaesthetic Throat Spray Blackcurrant – 15ml

Ultra Chloraseptic Anaesthetic Throat Spray is a fast-acting sore throat spray with a pleasant blackcurrant flavour. It is used to temporarily relieve the pain and discomfort of a sore throat in adults and children aged 6 years and over.

⸻

How It Works

The active ingredient, benzocaine, is a local anaesthetic that works by temporarily numbing the nerve endings in the throat. This reduces the sensation of pain and makes swallowing more comfortable, providing quick, targeted relief at the site of discomfort.

⸻

Directions for Use

Adults and children aged 6 years and over: spray 3 times directly into the throat. Repeat every 2 to 3 hours as needed. Do not use more than 8 times in 24 hours. Children under 6 years should not use this product. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
