Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Lozenges (Mint Fresh) 16s

Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Lozenges (Mint Fresh) belong to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class and contain benzydamine hydrochloride as their active ingredient — a well-established compound widely used in oral and throat care formulations. These lozenges come in a refreshing mint flavour, making them a convenient and pleasant option to keep on hand. Like most medicines, they may cause some side effects in certain individuals, including mild numbness or tingling in the mouth, nausea, dry mouth, and occasional allergic reactions — most of which are generally mild and temporary. Before using this product, it's worth knowing whether you have any known sensitivities to NSAIDs or similar ingredients, and if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications, a quick check with your pharmacist is always a smart move. We want you to feel confident and informed every step of the way, so read through the details below before you start. 

How to Take Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Lozenges (Mint Fresh)
Allow one lozenge to dissolve slowly in the mouth — do not chew or swallow it whole, as the lozenge is designed to release the active ingredient gradually across the throat and oral cavity for best effect. It is recommended to avoid eating or drinking for a short period after use to allow the ingredient to remain in contact with the affected area. Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging or as directed by your pharmacist or healthcare professional.

Dosage of Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Lozenges (Mint Fresh)
The generally recommended dose for adults and children over 12 years is 1 lozenge every 1.5 to 3 hours, with a maximum of 8 lozenges per day. This product is not typically recommended for children under 12 years of age unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.

Shelf Life of Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Lozenges (Mint Fresh)
Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Lozenges (Mint Fresh) generally have a shelf life of 2 to 3 years from the date of manufacture when stored under the correct conditions. Always check the expiry date printed on the outer packaging or blister strip before use, and do not use the product beyond this date even if it appears unchanged in appearance or smell.

⚠️ This is not a complete list of all possible side effects. Always read the product information leaflet and consult your pharmacist or doctor if you are unsure.

Contraindications of Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Lozenges (Mint Fresh)
Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Lozenges (Mint Fresh) should not be used in the following situations:

• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to benzydamine hydrochloride or any other ingredient in the formulation
• Individuals with a known allergy to aspirin or other NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), as cross-sensitivity may occur
• Children under 12 years of age unless under specific medical supervision
• Individuals with aspirin-induced asthma or bronchospasm triggered by NSAIDs
• Use with caution in individuals with existing asthma, as benzydamine may occasionally trigger bronchospasm in sensitive individuals
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding — consult your doctor or pharmacist before use, as safety has not been fully established for all stages
• If you are unsure whether this product is suitable for you, please speak with a licensed pharmacist or your doctor before purchasing or using it.

Drug & Food Interactions of Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Lozenges (Mint Fresh)
Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Lozenges are applied locally in the mouth and throat, which means systemic absorption is relatively low compared to oral tablets or capsules. However, the following interactions and precautions are worth noting:

Potential Drug Interactions:

• Other NSAIDs or aspirin — concurrent use may increase the risk of side effects, particularly gastrointestinal or hypersensitivity reactions
• Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin) — although topical absorption is minimal, inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are on blood-thinning medications
• Corticosteroids — combined use with anti-inflammatory agents should be discussed with a healthcare professional
• Medications that cause photosensitivity — concurrent use may theoretically increase skin sensitivity, though this is more relevant to systemic forms

Food & Drink Considerations:

• Avoid eating or drinking immediately after using the lozenge to allow the active ingredient to work effectively in the throat
• Alcohol — while not a direct pharmacological interaction with topical benzydamine, alcohol may irritate an already inflamed throat and is best avoided during treatment
• Hot beverages — may reduce the local effect of the lozenge; allow the throat to cool before use

Always inform your pharmacist or doctor of all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking before starting any new medicine.
