Frequently asked questions

What is Medica Throat Tablets Menthol used for?+
Medica Throat Tablets Menthol is an over‑the‑counter oral tablet that provides antiseptic action and temporary local anaesthesia. It is intended to relieve sore throat discomfort and to reduce bacterial irritation in the mouth, making it useful for mild throat infections, oral mucosal irritation, and post‑dental procedure care.
How does chlorhexidine work in this product?+
Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride binds to bacterial cell membranes, disrupting phospholipid integrity and causing leakage of cellular contents. This leads to rapid bacterial death across a broad spectrum of Gram‑positive and Gram‑negative organisms, giving the tablet its antiseptic effect when it dissolves on the oral mucosa.
What determines the usual dose of Medica Throat Tablets Menthol?+
The appropriate dose is set by a qualified healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, severity of symptoms, and overall health status. Because the product is available without a prescription, patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions or the label guidance and not exceed the recommended frequency.
Is Medica Throat Tablets Menthol safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for chlorhexidine and lidocaine in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should consult their physician before using the tablets to weigh potential benefits against any uncertain risks.
How do I order Medica Throat Tablets Menthol from GNH USA?+
To place an order, visit the product page on gnh-usa.com, enter the required quantity, and submit the enquiry form. 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 this product compare with other throat lozenges or anesthetic sprays?+
Medica Throat Tablets Menthol combines a potent antiseptic (chlorhexidine) with a local anaesthetic (lidocaine), offering both antimicrobial control and numbness. Many lozenges contain only a flavouring agent or a single anaesthetic such as benzocaine, which lacks the broad‑spectrum bacterial coverage provided by chlorhexidine.
What are the storage and handling requirements for the tablets?+
Store the tablets at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep them in the original blister pack, protect them from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain product stability throughout its shelf life.
How should Medica Throat Tablets Menthol be given or administered?+
The tablet is intended for oromucosal use. The patient should allow the tablet to dissolve slowly on the tongue or against the inner cheek, avoiding chewing. This permits gradual release of chlorhexidine and lidocaine, providing antiseptic action and local numbness directly at the site of irritation.
What are the most serious risks to watch for while using this product?+
The most serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or hives, and in rare cases, anaphylaxis. Severe oral ulceration or extensive mucosal lesions may also occur. Users should seek immediate medical attention if they experience any signs of a serious hypersensitivity reaction.
Who should not use Medica Throat Tablets Menthol?+
Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine, lidocaine, or any excipients in the tablet should avoid its use. Children under two years of age, patients on systemic lidocaine therapy, and those with severe cardiac conduction disorders should also refrain from using the product unless directed by a healthcare professional.
