What is Difflam Sore Throat and Mouth Pain Relief?
Difflam is a clinically trusted range of medicines containing the active ingredient benzydamine hydrochloride, a locally acting non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated specifically for the mouth and throat. In simple terms, Difflam products reduce inflammation, calm irritation and provide local pain relief in the oral and pharyngeal areas. This means Difflam spray targets sore throat pain, Difflam mouthwash soothes inflamed tissue and Difflam lozenges support ongoing symptom relief, all while acting directly where the discomfort is felt.
Key Benefits and Features of the Welzo Difflam Collection
-
Targeted anti-inflammatory action: Benzydamine works directly on inflamed tissues in the mouth and throat to help reduce swelling and discomfort.
-
Local pain relief: Difflam provides a mild local anaesthetic effect, helping to ease soreness when swallowing or speaking.
-
Multiple formats for different needs: Sprays, mouthwashes and lozenges allow you to choose the format that best fits your symptoms and lifestyle.
-
Fast onset of action: Difflam is absorbed quickly through the mucosal surfaces, offering relatively rapid relief in many users.
-
Non-systemic effect: Because Difflam acts locally, it offers symptom relief without the need for high doses of systemic painkillers.
-
Clinically established ingredient: Benzydamine hydrochloride has been used in oral and throat care for many years and is widely recommended by pharmacists and clinicians.
Why is Difflam Important for Throat and Mouth Care?
Sore throats, mouth ulcers and oral irritation are some of the most common reasons people seek pharmacy advice. Difflam plays an important role because it addresses both the underlying inflammation and the associated pain, supporting comfort while the body recovers. For many people, Difflam sits alongside other home and pharmacy remedies such as general sore throat treatments or broader cold and flu remedies, helping to create a more complete symptom-management plan.
How to Use Difflam Products Safely and Effectively
Always follow the instructions on the packaging and any guidance from your pharmacist or healthcare professional. Typical usage includes:
-
Difflam Sore Throat Spray: Directed at the back of the throat, usually every 1.5 to 3 hours as required, without exceeding the maximum daily dose.
-
Difflam Mouthwash: Measured, diluted or ready-to-use solutions are swilled around the mouth or gargled for 20–30 seconds, then spat out, often 2–3 times daily.
-
Difflam Lozenges: Allowed to dissolve slowly in the mouth to maintain contact with the affected tissues for sustained relief.
Difflam can be used alongside other supportive products where appropriate, for example with medicated mouthwash solutions or wider mouthcare and oral hygiene ranges, depending on your needs.

Statistics, Research and Expert Information on Difflam and Sore Throats
Sore throat is one of the most common self-limiting complaints seen in primary care and community pharmacy. It is frequently caused by viral infections, but the symptoms are largely driven by local inflammation in the throat tissues. Benzydamine hydrochloride, the active ingredient in Difflam, has been investigated in clinical studies for its ability to reduce inflammatory markers, lower local pain scores and improve patient comfort in conditions such as pharyngitis, oral mucositis and post-operative oral pain.
Because benzydamine acts locally on the mucosa rather than systemically, it is often considered a useful option when patients wish to limit the use of systemic painkillers or when localised symptom relief is a priority. Pharmacists regularly recommend Difflam-based products as part of evidence-informed sore throat and oral care pathways in both adults and appropriately aged children.
Expert perspective: The Welzo clinical team recognises Difflam as a valuable option for patients seeking targeted, pharmacy-strength relief from sore throat and mouth pain, particularly when inflammation is a key feature of their symptoms.
