Overview

Difflam 3% Mouth Gel contains Benzydamine Hydrochloride 3% and is presented as a gel. It is supplied in a pack size of 10g.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

A small amount of Difflam 3% Mouth Gel should be applied directly to the affected area inside the mouth using a clean fingertip or cotton applicator, and gently massaged in. It can generally be used up to three times a day, or as directed on the product label or by a healthcare professional, and should not be swallowed in large amounts. Avoid eating or drinking for a short period after application to allow the gel to act on the affected tissue.

Dosage

Adults and children of the age recommended on the product label typically apply a small amount of Difflam 3% Mouth Gel directly to the sore area up to three times daily. The exact amount and frequency should follow the instructions printed on the packaging or the advice of a pharmacist, and the gel should not be used continuously for more than 7 days without medical advice if symptoms persist.

Side Effects

  • Numbness or tingling sensation at the site of application
  • Mild burning or stinging sensation on first use
  • Dry mouth
  • Altered taste sensation
  • Mouth irritation in sensitive individuals
  • Allergic reactions such as rash or swelling in rare cases

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to benzydamine hydrochloride or other ingredients in the gel
  • Known allergy to aspirin or other NSAIDs, which may indicate cross-sensitivity
  • Children below the age recommended on the product label
  • Application to broken skin outside the mouth or to open wounds beyond minor mouth ulcers without medical advice

Drug / Food Interactions

  • No clinically significant drug interactions are typically expected with local use of benzydamine gel in the mouth
  • Concurrent use of multiple oral benzydamine products, such as lozenges, sprays, or gargles, should be avoided to prevent exceeding the recommended daily dose
  • Avoid eating or drinking immediately after application to allow the gel time to act on the affected area

Quick Tips

  • Apply a small amount directly onto the sore area using a clean fingertip or cotton applicator rather than swallowing the gel
  • Avoid eating or drinking for a short while after application so the gel can stay in contact with the affected tissue
  • Use up to three times a day, or as directed on the packaging, and avoid exceeding this frequency
  • Keep the tube tip clean between uses to avoid introducing bacteria to the mouth
  • See a doctor or dentist if a mouth ulcer or sore area has not healed within about a week
  • Do not use on large areas of broken skin outside the mouth without medical advice

Relevant Information

Difflam 3% Mouth Gel provides temporary symptomatic relief for mouth ulcers, gum soreness, and localised oral inflammation but does not treat underlying causes such as infections or ill-fitting dentures that may need separate management. If mouth pain or ulcers do not improve within a week, worsen, or are accompanied by high fever, spreading swelling, or difficulty eating and drinking, medical attention should be sought promptly. The gel is intended for topical use inside the mouth only and should not be swallowed in significant amounts.
