Lozenges

sore throat usually goes after a few days. Simple treatments that you can buy can ease symptoms until the sore throat goes. Usually, you would only need to see a doctor if your symptoms are severe, unusual, or do not ease within 3-4 days.

Flurbiprofen belongs to the group of medicines known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These medicines are used to relieve pain and swelling (inflammation). Flurbiprofen lozenges are used to ease the symptoms of a sore throat. You can buy them without a prescription at pharmacies.

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine may only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start using flurbiprofen lozenges it is important that your doctor or pharmacist knows:

  • If you have asthma or any other allergic disorder.

  • If you have ever had a stomach or duodenal ulcer, or if you have an inflammatory bowel disorder such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

  • यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या स्तनपान करा रही हैं।.

  • If you are under 12 or over 65 years of age.

  • If you have liver or kidney problems.

  • If you have a heart condition, or a problem with your blood vessels or circulation.

  • If you have high blood pressure.

  • If you have ever had blood clotting problems.

  • If you have an inflammatory condition called systemic lupus erythematosus (also called lupus, or SLE).

  • यदि आप कोई अन्य दवाएं ले रहे हैं। इसमें वे सभी दवाएं शामिल हैं जो आप बिना पर्ची के खरीद सकते हैं, साथ ही हर्बल और पूरक दवाएं भी शामिल हैं।.

  • If you have ever had an allergic reaction to any other NSAID (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, diclofenac, and indometacin), or to any other medicine.

  • Before using these lozenges, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack and take them exactly as directed.

  • You can suck one flurbiprofen lozenge every three to six hours if needed. Move the lozenge around in your mouth as you allow it to slowly dissolve. Do not use more than five lozenges in any 24-hour period.

  • You should not use flurbiprofen lozenges for more than three days unless you have been directed to do so by your doctor.

  • Have plenty to drink, even though it is tempting not to drink very much when it is painful to swallow. You may become mildly lacking in fluid in the body (dehydrated) if you don't drink much, particularly if you also have a high temperature (fever).

  • If your sore throat does not begin to feel better within three days, ask for further advice from your pharmacist or doctor.

  • If you buy any medicines, check with a pharmacist that they are safe to take alongside these lozenges. You should not take or use any other anti-inflammatory painkillers (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, diclofenac, and naproxen).
