What is Angina MCC and when is it used ?

Angina MCC lozenges consist of a combination of cetylpyridine, lidocaine and menthol.

While cetylpyridine is responsible for the germicidal effect of the lozenge, lidocaine relieves pain in the mucous membrane of the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx and thus relieves swallowing difficulties.

Menthol gives the lozenges a pleasant taste.

Angina MCC is used for infections or inflammations in the mouth and/or throat (angina, laryngitis or pharyngitis) and diseases of the mouth and/or throat mucosa (aphthae, stomatitis).

Angina MCC can also be taken after tonsillectomy or tooth loss.

When should Angina MCC not be used?

Angina MCC should not be used if there is a known hypersensitivity to one of the ingredients.

When is caution required when taking Angina MCC?
