Andolex Spray is a medicated oral spray used for the relief of oral symptoms associated with inflammation, infection, or injury. It contains the active ingredient benzocaine, which is a local anesthetic that helps numb the affected area and provides temporary pain relief.
Andolex Spray is commonly used for:
- Sore throat: It can help soothe the discomfort and pain associated with a sore throat.
- Mouth ulcers: It can provide relief from the pain and inflammation caused by mouth ulcers.
- Gingivitis: It can help relieve the pain and inflammation associated with gingivitis, which is the inflammation of the gums.
- Denture irritation: It can be used to alleviate the discomfort caused by denture irritation.
Dose
To use Andolex Spray, simply spray it onto the affected area in the mouth, allowing it to coat the surface. It is recommended to use it every 2 to 3 hours as needed, but not to exceed 8 doses in a 24-hour period.
While Andolex Spray can provide temporary relief, it is still important to address the underlying cause of the oral symptoms. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is advised to consult a healthcare professional.
Precautions
1. Allergy: Individuals who are allergic to benzocaine or any other ingredients in Andolex Spray should not use it. It is important to check the product label for a list of ingredients and consult with a healthcare professional if unsure about allergies.
2. Sensitivity reactions: Some individuals may experience sensitivity reactions, such as a rash or itching, after using Andolex Spray. If this occurs, it is recommended to discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
3. Swallowing: Andolex Spray is intended for oral use only. It should not be swallowed. If accidentally swallowed, it is important to seek medical attention, as benzocaine can cause systemic side effects if absorbed into the bloodstream in large quantities.
Always read the product label and follow the instructions provided. If in doubt or if symptoms worsen or persist, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further guidance.
