What is Flurbiprofen?

Strepsils Intensive contains flurbiprofen, an anti-inflammatory lozenge for temporary relief of sore throat pain. This oromucosal treatment targets inflammation at the source for fast, localized comfort. Ideal for adults seeking targeted throat relief without systemic effects. Suitable for occasional use in adults and children over 12.

What is Flurbiprofen used for?

Flurbiprofen lozenges are used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in the throat, such as during a cold or sore throat. They work by targeting the source of discomfort directly in the mouth and throat area. This medication is commonly chosen for its localized action, providing relief where it’s needed most. It’s not intended for long-term use without medical advice.

What are the side effects of Flurbiprofen?

Users often experience reduced throat soreness and irritation within minutes of dissolving the lozenge. The soothing effect can last for several hours, helping to ease discomfort during daily activities. Some may notice a mild numbing sensation as the lozenge dissolves, which contributes to the relief. The lozenge dissolves slowly to maximize contact time with the throat tissues.

What precautions apply to Flurbiprofen?

Keep the lozenge in the mouth until fully dissolved; do not chew or swallow whole. Avoid exceeding the recommended daily dose to minimize risk of irritation. If symptoms persist beyond a few days or worsen, consult a healthcare professional. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use if you have a known allergy to flurbiprofen or similar medications.

What does Flurbiprofen interact with?

This medication may interact with other anti-inflammatory drugs or blood thinners, potentially increasing side effects. Alcohol may exacerbate throat irritation or reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. Always inform a healthcare provider about all medications being used, including over-the-counter products. Separate use of other throat lozenges by at least 2 hours to avoid overuse.
