1. What is Anginocom and what is it used for

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

This medication is used 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, small mouth ulcers.

2. Before taking Anginocom

Do not take ANGINOCOM:

If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to chlorhexidine, benzocaine, or any of the other components of this medication.

Be especially careful with ANGINOCOM:

  • 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 injury in the mouth.
  • If you suffer from periodontitis (gum disease), because chlorhexidine may produce an increase in supragingival calculus.
  • Do not take doses higher than those recommended in section 3. (How to take ANGINOCOM).

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

Use of other medications:

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medications, including those obtained without a prescription.

Although not described in the recommended conditions of use, do not use with other medications for mouth or throat 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 efficacy 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 take this medication at least three days before the test and inform your doctor.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medication.

IMPORTANT FOR WOMEN

If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor before taking this medication. The use of medications during pregnancy can be hazardous to the embryo or fetus and should be monitored by your doctor.

Use in people over 65 years:

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

Use in children:

This medication should not be administered to children under 6 years without consulting a doctor first. Children may be more sensitive to benzocaine, just like the elderly and debilitated patients.

Driving and using machines:

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

3. How to take Anginocom

Follow the administration instructions of ANGINOCOM exactly, unless your doctor has indicated otherwise. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have doubts.

If you think the action of ANGINOCOM is too strong or too weak, inform your doctor or pharmacist.

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.

The normal dose is:

Adults and children over 6 years :

1 lozenge every 2 or 3 hours, dissolving it slowly in the mouth.

Do not take more than 8 lozenges in 24 hours (1 day).

Dissolve the lozenge slowly in the mouth without chewing or swallowing.

Always use the smallest effective dose.

If you notice that symptoms worsen or persist for more than 2 days after starting treatment or if fever, headache, nausea, or vomiting appear, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible.

If you take more ANGINOCOM than you should:

If you have taken more than you should, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone 915 62 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount taken.

Signs of overdose manifest with: 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.

Medicine questions

4. Possible side effects

Like all medications, ANGINOCOM can produce side effects, although not everyone experiences them.

Teeth discoloration may appear. This staining or discoloration can be more pronounced in people with tartar plaques on their teeth. This alteration of tooth color is not permanent and can be eliminated through oral cleaning. The color of fillings can also be altered, in which case this discoloration can be permanent.

Alteration in taste perception may appear.

In some cases, ANGINOCOM can produce 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.

If you consider that any of the side effects you are experiencing is serious or if you notice any side effect not mentioned in this leaflet, inform your doctor or pharmacist.

5. Storage of Anginocom

Keep out of the reach and sight of children.

Do not store at a temperature above 30 °C.

Do not use ANGINOCOM after the expiration date shown on the packaging, after the abbreviation: CAD.

The expiration date is the last day of the month indicated.

Medications should not be thrown away through wastewater or household waste. Deposit the packaging and medications you no longer need at the SIGRE point in the pharmacy.
