Frequently asked questions

What is Medica Throat Tablets Strawberry used for?+
Medica Throat Tablets Strawberry is an over‑the‑counter oral antiseptic tablet that combines chlorhexidine and lidocaine to help relieve sore throat and soothe irritation of the oral mucosa. It is intended for temporary relief of discomfort associated with minor throat infections, inflammation, or post‑dental‑procedure irritation.
How does chlorhexidine work in this product?+
Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride acts by binding to bacterial cell membranes, disrupting their structure and causing cell death. This broad‑spectrum antimicrobial activity reduces the bacterial load in the mouth and throat, helping to control infection while lidocaine provides local pain relief.
What is the usual dose of Medica Throat Tablets Strawberry?+
The appropriate dose and frequency are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s age, severity of symptoms, and overall health. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label without exceeding the recommended amount.
Is Medica Throat Tablets Strawberry safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for chlorhexidine and lidocaine in pregnancy and 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 does Medica Throat compare with other throat lozenges?+
Unlike many lozenges that rely solely on flavor or mild antiseptics, Medica Throat combines a potent antiseptic (chlorhexidine) with a local anesthetic (lidocaine). This dual action offers both antimicrobial activity and immediate numbing relief, which can be more effective for moderate throat irritation than products containing only one of these agents.

Store Medica Throat Tablets Strawberry at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the tablets in their original blister pack or container, protect them from moisture, excessive heat, and direct sunlight to maintain potency and prevent degradation.
How is Medica Throat Tablet administered?+
The tablet is intended for oromucosal use. The patient should place the tablet in the mouth and allow it to dissolve slowly, avoiding chewing. It should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional, typically after meals or as needed for symptom relief.
What are the most serious risks associated with this product?+
The most serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis, and rare severe oral ulceration or mucosal necrosis. If any signs of a serious allergic response or persistent ulceration occur, the user should discontinue the product and seek immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Medica Throat Tablets Strawberry?+
Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine, lidocaine, or any excipients in the tablet should avoid using it. Patients with extensive oral ulcerations, severe mucosal disease, or those who are advised against local anesthetics by their physician should also refrain from use.
