About this item
Medica Lozenges work through a "two-pronged" approach to oral health. First, the anesthetic component provides almost immediate numbing of the painful area, making it easier to swallow and speak. Second, the antiseptic component works to reduce the microbial load in the mouth and throat, helping to prevent the infection from worsening. The slow-dissolving nature of the lozenge ensures that the active ingredients remain in contact with the affected tissue for an extended period.
Dosage of Medica
- Adults and Children over 12 years: Usually 1 lozenge every 2 to 3 hours. Do not exceed 10 lozenges in 24 hours.
- Children 6 to 12 years: 1 lozenge every 3 to 4 hours. Do not exceed 5 lozenges in 24 hours.
- Under 6 years: Not recommended due to the risk of choking and the high concentration of lidocaine.
Proper Administration
- Method: Place one lozenge in the mouth and allow it to dissolve slowly. Do not chew or swallow the lozenge whole, as this reduces its effectiveness.
- Timing: For best results, avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after the lozenge has dissolved to allow the medicine to coat the throat.
- Smoking: Avoid smoking immediately after use, as it can further irritate the newly numbed throat tissue.
How to Store and Dispose of Medica
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C. Keep the blisters in the original carton to protect them from light and moisture.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of empty blister packs in regular household waste.
Quick Tips for Medica
- The "Numb" Warning: Because lidocaine numbs the throat, your swallowing reflex may be slightly altered. Be careful when consuming hot foods or drinks immediately after a lozenge to avoid burns.
- Sugar-Free: Many Medica variants are sugar-free, making them suitable for diabetics and better for dental health during an infection.
- Hydration: Supplement the use of lozenges with warm (not hot) salt-water gargles for enhanced antiseptic action.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Medica
- Allergy: Do not use if you are allergic to lidocaine, chlorhexidine, or other "caine-type" anesthetics.
- Severe Wounds: Avoid use if you have large, open wounds or severe sloughing of the oral mucosa.
- PABA Sensitivity: Some individuals may have cross-sensitivity issues.
Side Effects of Medica
- Common: Temporary numbness of the tongue or mouth (intended effect), or a slight change in taste perception.
- Less Common: Temporary brown staining of the teeth or tongue (common with long-term chlorhexidine use), which can usually be removed by brushing.
- Action: If you experience swelling of the face, a skin rash, or difficulty breathing, stop use immediately and seek medical care.
Precautions and Warnings
- Duration: Do not use for more than 3 to 4 consecutive days. If your sore throat is accompanied by a high fever, headache, or nausea, consult a doctor, as it may be a bacterial infection requiring antibiotics.
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before use. While generally safe in small amounts, lidocaine should be used with caution.
- Choking Hazard: Ensure children are sitting still while dissolving the lozenge to prevent accidental inhalation.
- Pack Size: Typically 20 or 36 lozenges per pack.
- Form: Hard Lozenge.
- Active Ingredients: Chlorhexidine HCl, Lidocaine HCl.
