For sore throats with severe symptoms, TANTUM VERDE® - Austria's number 1 against sore throats* - offers medicines for the whole family, with a double effect:
Reduces inflammation and relieves pain!

At the first signs of a sore throat, TANTUM VERDE® PROTECT is the right solution. The mouth spray helps in the early stages and with mild symptoms such as a scratchy throat and has a triple effect:

• relieves pain
• reduces inflammation
• fights germs (antiseptic and bactericidal)

An additional area of application is the short-term, supportive local treatment of irritations of the throat, mouth and gums, for gingivitis and before and after a tooth extraction.

TANTUM VERDE® lozenges are used for the symptomatic treatment of painful inflammations and swellings in the mouth and throat.

The active ingredient in TANTUM VERDE® is benzydamine hydrochloride; it has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. After rapid absorption and local accumulation in the inflamed tissue, there is a prompt alleviation of symptoms. TANTUM VERDE® is well tolerated locally and provides targeted therapy for inflammatory symptoms and swallowing difficulties.

Causes and effects of sore throats

We often only think about our throat when it causes us discomfort. Yet it is essential for many everyday things: speaking, laughing, singing and even eating - all of this is only possible with a healthy throat. If it then scratches, hurts or the voice fails, even a short conversation becomes a challenge. Who would have thought how much our social life depends on a functioning throat?(2)
Sore throats, also known as pharyngitis, can be painful and uncomfortable for several days. Typical symptoms include:

• Pain and difficulty swallowing
• Hoarseness
• Dry cough
• Scratchy throat

These symptoms are caused by inflammation in the throat area, such as in the pharynx, larynx or tonsils (3-5). Such inflammations are often triggered by viruses or bacteria.(3) Therefore, in the case of throat discomfort, it is particularly important not only to relieve the pain, but also to combat the inflammatory reaction in order to eliminate the cause of the discomfort.
