Chloraseptic Citrus is used for the temporary relief of throat and mouth irritation, including:

• Sore Throat: It provides fast relief from the pain caused by viral infections (like the common cold), bacterial infections, or seasonal throat irritation.
• Dry Throat: When your throat feels dry or scratchy, Chloraseptic Citrus can help lubricate and soothe the irritated area.
• Mouth Irritation: It can also be used for discomfort caused by minor mouth irritations, such as those caused by dentures or braces.
• After Surgical Procedures: It may be used to alleviate discomfort after certain medical procedures, such as a tonsillectomy or after the insertion of a tube into the throat (intubation).

It’s important to remember that Chloraseptic Citrus does not treat the underlying cause of a sore throat, such as an infection. It only provides temporary symptomatic relief.

Chloraseptic Citrus works through its two key ingredients:

• Phenol: This active ingredient acts as both an antiseptic and a local anesthetic. It numbs the throat area to reduce pain and discomfort. Phenol works by temporarily numbing the nerve endings in the affected part of the throat.
• Menthol: Menthol provides a cooling sensation that helps to soothe irritation and calm the throat. It also has mild analgesic (pain-relieving) properties that contribute to the overall relief.

When sprayed directly onto the sore or irritated area of the throat, Chloraseptic Citrus begins to work quickly, numbing the pain and providing a cooling effect that soothes the throat and alleviates discomfort.

Chloraseptic Citrus is generally safe for most people, but like any product, it can cause side effects in some individuals. Some possible side effects include:

• Mild Burning or Stinging: After using the spray, you may feel a slight burning or stinging sensation in your throat, which usually subsides within a few minutes.
• Dry Throat: The numbing effect may leave your throat feeling dry or slightly uncomfortable.
• Allergic Reactions: Although rare, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to ingredients like phenol or menthol. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can include swelling, rash, hives, or trouble breathing. If you notice any of these signs, discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately.

• Not a Cure: Chloraseptic Citrus only provides temporary relief from throat symptoms. It does not address the underlying causes of throat discomfort, such as infections or chronic conditions. If your sore throat persists for more than a few days, consult a healthcare provider.
• Overuse: Avoid excessive use of the product. Overusing the spray may cause throat irritation or further discomfort.
• Consult a Doctor if Pregnant or Breastfeeding: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before using Chloraseptic Citrus to ensure its safety.
• Keep Out of Reach of Children: Store the spray out of the reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion or misuse.
• Do Not Use if You Are Allergic: If you have a known allergy to phenol or menthol, avoid using this product.

Avoid using Chloraseptic Citrus along with other throat sprays or lozenges containing local anesthetics to prevent excessive numbness or irritation.

Use with caution if combined with medications or substances that may cause mucosal dryness or irritation, as the citrus flavoring might increase sensitivity.

There are no known significant systemic drug interactions due to minimal absorption of phenol, the active ingredient.

Avoid using Chloraseptic Citrus together with alcohol-based mouthwashes to reduce the risk of increased throat irritation or dryness.
