Guangxi Golden Throat Co., Ltd Golden Throat Lozenges 2g*12 Tablets

Indications of Golden Throat Lozenges

1. Sore Throat and Pharyngeal Inflammation

• Primary Conditions:
  • Acute pharyngitis (viral/bacterial), chronic pharyngitis (recurrent or persistent), and sore throat from overuse (e.g., excessive speaking, singing).
• Symptomatic Relief:
  • Alleviates pain, burning sensation, and dryness in the throat, especially:
    • Inflamed pharyngeal mucosa with redness, swelling, or minor ulceration.
    • Discomfort triggered by cold air, smoke, or irritants.
• Mechanism:
  • Ingredients like Platycodon grandiflorum and Menthol reduce mucosal inflammation, while Chrysanthemum and Poria exert heat-clearing and detoxifying effects.

2. Hoarseness and Voice Fatigue

• Functional Voice Disorders:
  • Temporary hoarseness from vocal strain (e.g., teachers, public speakers), laryngitis, or upper respiratory infections.
• Therapeutic Effects:
  • Moisturizes the vocal cords, relieves laryngeal muscle tension, and improves voice clarity for:
    • Rough, strained, or weakened voice quality.
    • Difficulty speaking loudly or for extended periods.
• Key Ingredients:
  • Fritillaria cirrhosa nourishes the throat, while Menthol provides a cooling sensation to reduce laryngeal edema.

3. Oral Dryness and Irritation

• Applicable Scenarios:
  • Dry mouth due to dehydration, air conditioning, smoking, or medication side effects (e.g., antihistamines).
  • Mild oral mucosal irritation from spicy foods, alcohol, or dental appliances.
• Symptom Management:
  • Restores moisture to the oral cavity, relieves burning or itching, and soothes minor abrasions on the tongue or inner cheeks.

4. Adjuvant Treatment for Upper Respiratory Symptoms

• Combination Therapy:
  • As an adjunct to cold/flu medications for sore throat, cough, or post-nasal drip-related irritation.
• Target Symptoms:
  • Scratchy throat associated with common colds, allergic rhinitis, or sinusitis.
  • Cough suppression by soothing the pharyngeal trigger zone (menthol’s local anesthetic effect).

5. Prevention of Throat Discomfort

• Prophylactic Use:
  • For individuals prone to throat issues (e.g., frequent public speakers, singers, smokers), to prevent discomfort before vocal exertion or exposure to irritants.

Ingredient Efficacy and Mode of Action

Administration and Precautions

• Dosage and Use:
  • Dissolve 1–2 lozenges slowly in the mouth every 2–3 hours, up to 6–8 lozenges daily (adjust based on age and severity).
• Contraindications:
  • Hypersensitivity to menthol, herbal ingredients, or sweeteners (e.g., sucrose, xylitol).
  • Severe bacterial infections (e.g., streptococcal pharyngitis) requiring antibiotics (use as adjunct, not substitute).
• Special Notes:
  • Avoid consuming hot drinks or spicy foods within 30 minutes of use to maintain the cooling effect.
  • Not recommended for children under 3 years old due to choking risk; supervise older children to ensure slow dissolution.

Clinical Considerations

• Duration of Use:
  • Symptomatic relief typically occurs within 10–15 minutes, with full improvement in 1–3 days for acute conditions. Discontinue if fever, severe swelling, or difficulty breathing develops.
• Differentiation of Conditions:
  • Effective for mild to moderate throat issues but may require medical evaluation for persistent hoarseness >2 weeks (rule out nodules, polyps, or malignancy).
• Safety Profile:
  • Common side effects are rare but may include temporary oral tingling (from menthol) or allergic rash (discontinue immediately if observed).
