1. What is Angileptol and what is it used for

The active ingredients of Angileptol act by complementing the antisepsis action of chlorhexidine, with the anti-inflammatory action of enoxolone on the buccal and pharyngeal mucosa and the local anesthetic action of benzocaine, thereby suppressing the typical discomfort caused by local irritation of the throat.

Angileptol is indicated for the symptomatic relief of local and temporaryinfections and mild inflammations of the mouth and throat that are accompanied by pain and without fever in adults and children aged 6 years and above.

2. What you need to know before starting to take Angileptol

Warnings and precautions

  • If you cannot tolerate other local anesthetics such as para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), parabens, or paraphenylenediamine (a hair dye component).
  • If you have any severe or extensive injuries in the mouth.
  • If you have periodontitis (gum disease), as chlorhexidine may cause an increase in supragingival calculus.
  • If you have hypertension or fluid retention, as enoxolone may worsen these symptoms.
  • It is recommended to maintain good oral hygiene to reduce the accumulation of plaque and the possible discoloration of teeth that chlorhexidine may cause.
  • Do not take doses higher than those recommended in section 3 (How to take Angileptol).
