Before using Humex Mal De Gorge lozenges, consider the following precautions: - Do not exceed the recommended number of lozenges per day; excessive use may increase the risk of local irritation. - Individuals with known hypersensitivity to amylmetacresol, 2,4‑dichlorobenzyl alcohol, lidocaine, saccharine, or maltitol should avoid this product. - Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional, as safety data are limited. - Patients with severe liver or kidney impairment should use caution due to potential altered metabolism of lidocaine. - Keep the product out of reach of children; accidental ingestion of large quantities can be harmful. - If symptoms persist for more than 72 hours or worsen, seek medical advice.

Humex Mal De Gorge lozenges may interact with other substances. Consider the following guidance:

Avoid: - Concomitant use of other topical anesthetics containing lidocaine, which could increase systemic exposure. - Alcohol-containing mouthwashes or beverages immediately after taking a lozenge, as alcohol may enhance lidocaine absorption.

Use with caution: - Anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs, because prolonged mucosal irritation could theoretically increase bleeding risk. - Other over‑the‑counter sore‑throat products that contain similar antiseptic agents, to avoid cumulative exposure. - Medications that are metabolized by hepatic enzymes (e.g., CYP3A4 substrates), although systemic absorption from lozenges is low. - Herbal supplements with sedative properties, if excessive lidocaine absorption occurs.
