Frequently asked questions

What is Medica Halstabletten Menthol used for?+
Medica Halstabletten Menthol is an over‑the‑counter lozenge that provides antiseptic action and temporary pain relief for sore throat, mouth irritation and mild throat inflammation. The chlorhexidine component reduces microbial load, while lidocaine offers local anaesthesia to ease discomfort.
How does chlorhexidine work in this product?+
Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride binds to bacterial cell membranes, disrupting their structure and causing leakage of intracellular contents. This broad‑spectrum antimicrobial effect reduces the number of bacteria in the oral cavity, helping to control infection and promote a healthier throat environment.
What is the usual dose of Medica Halstabletten Menthol?+
The exact dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional or according to the product label. Typically, an adult may be advised to dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth every few hours, not exceeding the maximum daily frequency indicated on the packaging.
Is Medica Halstabletten Menthol safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for chlorhexidine and lidocaine in pregnancy or lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should consult their physician before using this product to weigh potential benefits against any unknown risks.
How do I order Medica Halstabletten Menthol from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams across international markets, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Medica Halstabletten Menthol compare with other throat lozenges?+
Compared with simple soothing lozenges that contain only flavouring agents, Medica Halstabletten Menthol adds an antiseptic (chlorhexidine) and a local anaesthetic (lidocaine). This dual action not only masks pain but also actively reduces bacterial presence, offering a more comprehensive approach to sore‑throat management.
How should Medica Halstabletten Menthol be stored and handled?+
Store the lozenges at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in the original container to protect them from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and avoid exposing the product to excessive heat or humidity, which could affect its stability.
How is Medica Halstabletten Menthol administered?+
The lozenge is intended for oromucosal use. Allow it to dissolve slowly in the mouth without chewing, letting the active ingredients coat the throat. Do not swallow whole; let the lozenge melt completely to ensure optimal contact time and effectiveness.
What are the most serious risks associated with this product?+
Serious adverse events, although rare, include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, anaphylaxis, severe oral ulceration, persistent numbness, and angioedema affecting the lips, tongue or throat. Immediate medical attention is required if any of these symptoms develop.
Who should not use Medica Halstabletten Menthol?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine, lidocaine, or any excipients in the lozenge should avoid its use. Children under six years of age should not use it unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional, and anyone experiencing severe oral lesions should seek medical advice before use.
