What is neo-angin and when is it used?

neo-angin is used to help with inflammation in the mouth and/or pharynx and larynx, as well as for the symptomatic treatment of pain when swallowing and hoarseness.

Neo-angin can also be taken after dental or surgical procedures if prescribed by a doctor.

When should neo-angin not be used?
