Description

Difflam Sore Throat Rinse provides fast, targeted relief from throat and mouth pain by reducing inflammation and soothing irritated tissues. Difflam Sore Throat Rinse acts directly where it is applied, helping to relieve discomfort caused by sore throat, mouth ulcers, or after dental procedures. It is commonly used when swallowing feels painful or when the mouth lining is inflamed.

Key benefits include:

  • Contains benzydamine hydrochloride for anti-inflammatory relief
  • Helps reduce throat pain and mouth inflammation
  • Suitable for sore throats, ulcers and post-dental discomfort
  • Used as a rinse or gargle for targeted action

Directions

Use Difflam Sore Throat Rinse exactly as directed on the label or by your healthcare professional. Measure the recommended amount using the provided cup and rinse or gargle for around thirty seconds before spitting out. Difflam Sore Throat Rinse is usually used every one and a half to three hours as needed.

Do not swallow Difflam Sore Throat Rinse, and do not exceed the stated frequency of use. If symptoms persist for more than a few days, seek medical advice.
