Apogar 20 sucking tablets

Apocar has a double effect due to its components, antiseptic and disinfectant action due to chlorhexidine and anaesthetic action due to benzocaine.

It is indicated for the temporary and symptomatic relief of mouth and throat infections such as canker sores, irritation and aphonia.

It comes in a pack of 20 tablets.

Adults and children over 6 years of age.

Take 1 tablet every 2 to 3 hours and no more than 8 tablets a day.

Children under 6 years of age are contraindicated, as children are more sensitive to the use of benzocaine, as well as those over 65 years of age, whose use is not indicated, in addition to the sensitivity because it produces hypertension.
