In Australia, children are twice as likely as adults to suffer from colds each year2, with around a third also experiencing at least one acute sore throat3.
Andrew Jenkin, President of iNova Pharmaceuticals Australia says, “We know that a sore throat can be miserable, especially for kids, affecting simple everyday activities such as swallowing, eating and talking.”
“With limited treatment options formulated specifically for children, iNova is excited to launch Difflam Kids Sore Throat Spray into Australia, providing parents with an easy-to-use, practical solution that helps relieve sore throat pain and is ideal for on-the-go and at nighttime.”
Temi Stavroulakis, Director of Medical & Regulatory Affairs says that Difflam Kids Sore Throat Spray contains the anti-inflammatory benzydamine hydrochloride to effectively target sore throats at the site of pain and inflammation, without the need for the medicine to travel through the whole body for effect.
“Sore throats are a very common reason for parents to consult a pharmacist for management advice4 For children, throat pain can actually feel worse compared to adults as their relatively smaller oral cavity and shorter pharynx means that germs can spread quickly from mouth to throat, and if infected, the pain can feel more severe because inflammation and swelling is across a proportionally larger space.”5
“Specifically formulated to be alcohol free and in a great-tasting strawberry favour, Difflam Kids Sore Throat Spray provides fast-acting, targeted relief for children aged 6 years and older for a range of painful conditions of the mouth and throat.”
Difflam Kids Sore Throat Spray provides temporary relief from the symptoms of:
- Sore throat
- Tonsillitis and pharyngitis
- Redness and inflammatory conditions
- Mouth ulcers
- Pain after mouth or throat surgery
- Pain after dental procedures
“Additionally, to provide parents with confidence, the Difflam Kids Sore Throat Spray features a metered-dose spray action that supports accurate dosing,” says Temi.
Difflam Kids Sore Throat Spray is a handy solution for relieving kids sore throat pain and can be used in conjunction with over-the-counter analgesic liquids to provide fast sore throat relief while the analgesic takes effect.
