Difflam Throat Spray 30ml — Benzydamine Anti-Inflammatory Sore Throat Spray
Difflam Throat Spray contains benzydamine hydrochloride 0.15% — a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) applied directly to the throat and mouth. Unlike anaesthetic sprays that simply numb the throat, benzydamine works by reducing inflammation at the site — tackling one of the primary causes of sore throat pain and discomfort, not just masking the sensation.
As a spray, it delivers the active ingredient precisely to the affected area of the throat, making it particularly effective for painful swallowing, inflamed tonsils, pharyngitis, and mouth ulcers. One of Ireland's most trusted and widely recommended sore throat treatments.
What Difflam Throat Spray Is Used For
- Sore throat pain and inflammation — pharyngitis, tonsillitis, general throat soreness
- Painful swallowing — provides localised anti-inflammatory relief at the point of pain
- Mouth ulcers — can be used on painful ulcers inside the mouth
- Post-operative sore throat — throat soreness following dental or ENT procedures
- Oral mucositis — soreness and inflammation of the mouth lining
Key Features
- Contains benzydamine hydrochloride 0.15% — NSAID anti-inflammatory for local use
- Spray format — precise targeted delivery to throat and mouth
- Anti-inflammatory action — reduces throat inflammation rather than just numbing
- 30ml bottle — generous supply for a full treatment course
- Suitable for adults, elderly and children (dosing varies by age)
- Available without prescription from Chemco Pharmacy
How to Use
Direct the spray nozzle to the affected area in the throat or mouth and press the pump.
- Adults and elderly: 4–8 puffs every 1.5–3 hours
- Children aged 6–12: 4 puffs every 1.5–3 hours
- Children under 6: 1 puff per 4kg body weight, up to 4 puffs maximum, every 1.5–3 hours
Do not use for more than 7 days without medical supervision. After use, wipe the nozzle with a tissue to prevent blockage. Avoid contact with eyes. Store upright below 30°C — do not refrigerate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Difflam different from Strepsils or other throat sprays?
Difflam (benzydamine) is an anti-inflammatory NSAID that works by reducing the inflammation causing throat pain — not just numbing it. Most throat lozenges including Strepsils work primarily through local anaesthetic or antiseptic ingredients. Strepsils Plus Throat Spray contains amylmetacresol and 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol (antiseptic/anaesthetic). Difflam's anti-inflammatory mechanism makes it particularly effective for inflamed, swollen throats where the inflammation itself is the main source of pain. For very painful throats with obvious redness and swelling, Difflam is usually the preferred pharmacist recommendation.
Can Difflam Throat Spray be used for mouth ulcers?
Yes. Benzydamine is an anti-inflammatory effective for the pain and inflammation associated with mouth ulcers (aphthous ulcers). Apply the spray directly to the ulcer. It can be particularly helpful for large or very painful ulcers that are interfering with eating.
How long can I use Difflam for?
Uninterrupted use should not exceed 7 days unless under medical supervision. Most sore throats caused by viral infections resolve within 5–7 days. If your sore throat is severe, worsening after 3 days, or accompanied by high fever, difficulty breathing or difficulty swallowing saliva, seek medical advice promptly.
Is Difflam Throat Spray available in Ireland without a prescription?
Yes. Difflam Throat Spray 30ml is available as a pharmacy medicine from Chemco Pharmacy without a prescription.
