Frequently asked questions

What is Medica Keeltabletten Lemon used for?+
Medica Keeltabletten Lemon is an oromucosal lozenge that combines chlorhexidine, an antiseptic, with lidocaine, a local anaesthetic. It is used to manage oral mucosal infections, soothe sore throats, and provide relief from mouth ulcers by reducing bacterial load and numbing the affected area.
How does chlorhexidine work in this product?+
Chlorhexidine disrupts bacterial cell membranes, leading to loss of cellular integrity and death of a broad range of microorganisms. This antiseptic action helps control infection in the oral cavity, allowing the tissue to heal more effectively.
What is the usual dose of Medica Keeltabletten Lemon?+
The appropriate dose and duration are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s condition, age, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not exceed the recommended amount.
Is Medica Keeltabletten Lemon safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for use in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using the product.
How do I order Medica Keeltabletten Lemon from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.
How does Medica Keeltabletten Lemon compare with other oral antiseptics?+
Unlike single‑ingredient antiseptic lozenges, Medica Keeltabletten Lemon combines chlorhexidine’s broad‑spectrum antimicrobial activity with lidocaine’s local anaesthetic effect. This dual action offers both infection control and immediate pain relief, which many standard antiseptic lozenges lacking a numbing component do not provide.
What are the storage and handling requirements for this lozenge?+
Store the lozenges at ambient temperature below 25 °C, in their original packaging, protected 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 should Medica Keeltabletten Lemon be administered?+
The lozenge is intended for oromucosal use. Allow it to dissolve slowly in the mouth without chewing, ensuring contact with the oral mucosa for the full duration. Do not swallow whole; let it dissolve completely to achieve optimal antiseptic and anaesthetic effects.
What are the most serious risks associated with this product?+
Serious risks include rare allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, severe skin reactions like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, and persistent oral ulceration. If any signs of severe hypersensitivity, swelling, or unusual skin changes occur, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Medica Keeltabletten Lemon?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine, lidocaine, or any formulation excipients should avoid this product. It is also contraindicated in patients who have experienced severe reactions to similar oral antiseptics or local anaesthetics, and it should be used with caution in young children unless directed by a clinician.
