Frequently asked questions

What is Medica Throat Spray Menthol used for?+
Medica Throat Spray Menthol is formulated to provide antiseptic protection and temporary pain relief for sore throat, oral mucosal infections and other throat discomforts. The spray delivers chlorhexidine to reduce bacterial load and lidocaine to numb the affected area, helping alleviate symptoms.
How does chlorhexidine gluconate work in this spray?+
Chlorhexidine gluconate acts by disrupting the integrity of bacterial cell membranes, leading to leakage of cellular contents and death of the microorganisms. This broad‑spectrum antiseptic activity reduces the bacterial burden in the throat and oral cavity.
What is the usual dose of Medica Throat Spray Menthol?+
The appropriate dose and frequency are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the severity of symptoms and patient factors. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label for proper use.
Is Medica Throat Spray Menthol safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for use in pregnancy and lactation are limited. The product should be used only if clearly needed and after discussion with a qualified healthcare provider who can weigh the potential benefits against any unknown risks.
How do I order Medica Throat Spray 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 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 Throat Spray compare with other throat antiseptics?+
Compared with single‑ingredient antiseptic sprays, Medica combines chlorhexidine’s broad‑spectrum antimicrobial action with lidocaine’s local anaesthetic effect, offering both infection control and immediate pain relief. This dual mechanism can be advantageous when rapid symptom relief is desired alongside antimicrobial therapy.
What are the storage requirements for Medica Throat Spray Menthol?+
Store the spray at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep it in the original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the cap is tightly closed to maintain product stability.
How is Medica Throat Spray Menthol administered?+
The spray is applied directly to the back of the throat and oral mucosa. The patient should hold the spray upright, press the actuator to deliver a fine mist, and avoid swallowing immediately to allow the medication to coat the target area.
What are the most serious risks associated with this spray?+
Serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, prolonged numbness, mucosal ulceration, and rare immune‑mediated conditions like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Any signs of swelling, difficulty breathing, or extensive rash require immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Medica Throat Spray Menthol?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine, lidocaine, or any component of the formulation should avoid using the spray. It is also not recommended for children under six years of age unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.
