AREAS OF APPLICATION OF TANTUM VERDE ® SPRAY
The anti-inflammatory and local anesthetic Effect of the Tantum Verde ® spray is suitable for a number of areas of application. In addition to throat problems (such as a sore throat caused by a viral cold, slight scratching or burning in the throat), these also include irritated respiratory tracts, the symptoms of which include hoarseness. In addition, the Tantum Verde ® spray is suitable for treating pain and irritation in the mouth, for example caused by hot foods and drinks or hard food components. Furthermore, Tantum Verde ® can be used for inflammation of the mucous membranes with painful blisters (stomatitis aphthosa), inflammation of the gums, periodontal disease, inflammation of the mouth (mucositis) and difficulty swallowing.
RECOMMENDED USE
Tantum Verde ® is generally used 2-6 times daily: 4-8 sprays each for adults and adolescents over 12 years of age. 4 sprays for children between 6 and 12 years. For children between 2 and 6 years, 1 spray per 4 kg of body weight, maximum 4 sprays. Unless otherwise prescribed by the dentist or doctor, the dosage recommendation also applies to older patients.
Operating instructions: First, lift the pump nozzle. Before the first use, the spray head must be activated a few times until an even spray comes out. The pump nozzle should then be inserted into the mouth opening and aimed at the affected area.
If treated with a smaller than recommended amount of Tantum Verde ® oral spray, the time until it takes effect can be extended, and in some cases the treatment may not be successful at all.
TANTUM VERDE ® SPRAY FOR COLDS
With a cold, an infection of the upper respiratory tract, symptoms such as a sore throat, cough and hoarseness can occur in addition to a runny nose. On average, adults experience two to four infections per year, especially in autumn and winter. Children can get eight to ten colds per year. 4 The Tantum Verde ® Spray has a local anesthetic effect, effectively inhibits irritation in the mouth and throat and provides rapid pain relief.
TREATING HOARNESS
Hoarseness is caused by overloading the voice. Speaking requires effort and it is not uncommon for there to be additional burning or pressure in the larynx. The heavy use causes the vocal folds to redden and swell. 5 Anyone who ignores hoarseness risks further damage such as the vocal cords becoming relaxed. The Tantum Verde ® Spray has an anti-inflammatory effect on irritation in the throat area.
INFLAMMATION OF THE ORAL MUCOSA
Inflammation of the oral mucosa (stomatitis) can be a secondary phenomenon to an infection or systemic disease or can occur as an independent clinical picture without an identifiable cause. Women are more often affected by the so-called “canker sores” than men. 6 Local treatment with the Tantum Verde ® Spray alleviates the symptoms, which primarily include a severe burning sensation in the oral mucosa.
