1. What Anestefarin is and what it is used for

The active ingredients of this medication work by combining the antiseptic and disinfectant action of chlorhexidine with the local anesthetic action of benzocaine.

This medication is used in adults and children over 6 years old for the symptomatic local and temporary relief of mild mouth and throat infections that occur with pain and without fever, such as throat irritation, hoarseness, and small mouth ulcers.

You should consult a doctor if your condition worsens or does not improve after 2 days of starting treatment or if fever, headache, nausea, or vomiting appear.

Doctor consultation

Not sure if this medicine is right for you?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before taking Anestefarin

Do not use Anestefarin:

  • if you are allergic to chlorhexidine, benzocaine, or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

Warnings and Precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use Anestefarin:

  • if you do not tolerate other local anesthetics like para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), parabens, or para-phenylenediamine (a component of hair dye).
  • if you have any severe or extensive oral lesions.
  • if you have periodontitis (gum disease), as chlorhexidine may cause an increase in supragingival calculus.

It may produce a mild laxative effect because it contains mannitol (542 mg).

This medication contains less than 23 mg of sodium (1 mmol) per unit dose; it is essentially "sodium-free".

It is recommended to maintain good oral hygiene to reduce the accumulation of plaque and possible tooth discoloration that may be caused by chlorhexidine.

Children and Adolescents

This medication should not be administered to children under 6 years old without consulting a doctor first.

Using Anestefarin with Other Medications:

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication.

Although not described in the recommended conditions of use, it should not be used with other medications for oral application without consulting a doctor or pharmacist.

This is especially important in the case of:

  • Other mouth or throat antiseptics.
  • Cholinesterase inhibitor medications (medications for Alzheimer's disease).
  • Sulfonamides (used for infections).

Anionic compounds and suspending agents, common components of toothpastes, decrease the effectiveness of chlorhexidine, so the mouth should be rinsed well after using toothpaste.

Interference with Diagnostic Tests

This medication may interact with the test for determining pancreatic function that uses bentiromide. Do not use this medication at least three days before the test and inform your doctor.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Driving and Using Machines:

No cases have been reported that affect the ability to drive or operate machinery.

3. How to Take Anestefarin

Follow the administration instructions for the medication contained in this package leaflet or as indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. In case of doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

The recommended dose is:

Adults and children over 6 years old: 1 lozenge every 2 or 3 hours, dissolving slowly in the mouth. Do not use more than 8 lozenges in 24 hours (1 day).

Use in Children

This medication is indicated for children over 6 years old.

Use in Elderly

Elderly people and debilitated patients may be more sensitive to benzocaine.

This medication is for buccopharyngeal use, so the lozenges should be dissolved slowly in the mouth without chewing or swallowing, as its action is local and only manifests when the product is in direct contact with the affected area.

Always use the lowest effective dose.

If you use more Anestefarin than you should:

Signs of overdose manifest as: slurred speech, numbness, staggering gait, blurred or double vision, dizziness, excitement, or convulsions, ringing in the ears, increased sweating. A decrease in blood pressure may also occur.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, go immediately to a medical center or call the Toxicology Information Service (Telephone 91 562 04 20), indicating the medication and the amount ingested.

Medicine questions

Started taking the medicine and have questions?

4. Possible Side Effects

Like all medications, Anestefarin can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

Tooth discoloration may appear. This staining or discoloration may be more pronounced in people with plaque on their teeth. This alteration of tooth color is not permanent and can be removed by a dental cleaning. The color of fillings may also be altered, in which case this discoloration may be permanent.

Alteration in taste perception may appear.

In some cases, Anestefarin may cause irritation in the mouth or irritation of the tip of the tongue, which are usually transient, as well as allergic reactions to chlorhexidine or benzocaine.

Reporting Side Effects:

If you experience any type of side effect, consult your doctor or pharmacist, even if it is a possible side effect not listed in this package leaflet.

Andrei Popov

General medicinePain medicine7 years of experience

Dr. Andrei Popov is a General Practitioner with specialized training in chronic pain. He provides online consultations for adult patients in Spain and other European countries.

Dr. Popov understands that seeking help with weight-related concerns or pain that has persisted for months can be difficult. Many patients come to him after trying different approaches without feeling truly heard. During the consultation, the doctor creates a comfortable and supportive, non-judgmental environment where the patient’s medical history can be discussed in detail, questions can be answered, and the next steps can be decided together.

Weight Management and Metabolic Health

Dr. Popov can help assess overweight, obesity, and related conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or metabolic disorders. During the consultation, the patient’s medical history, test results, current medications, and previous treatments will be reviewed.

If you would like to learn about possible medication options or have already started treatment, the doctor can assess your situation, review the effectiveness and tolerability of the therapy, and clearly explain its benefits, potential risks, and alternatives.

Not every patient requires the same treatment. A consultation does not guarantee a prescription — it provides an objective medical assessment and a plan tailored to your individual situation.

Pain and General Medicine

You can also consult Dr. Popov regarding:

* chronic pain, migraines, neuralgia, and fibromyalgia;

* back, neck, lower back, or joint pain;

* hypertension, diabetes, and follow-up of chronic conditions;

* review of test results, medical reports, and current treatment;

* preventive medicine and a second medical opinion.

How the Consultation Works

The video consultation lasts up to 30 minutes. The doctor will listen carefully, review the information you provide, and explain the next steps in clear and understandable language.

If additional tests, an in-person consultation, or urgent medical care are required, the doctor will inform you directly.

Dr. Popov’s goal is to make sure the patient feels heard and leaves the consultation with a clear understanding of their condition and the next steps they can take.
