Drill pastilles à sucer

Drill pastilles à sucer are medicated lozenges designed to provide relief for mild sore throats, mouth ulcers, and minor oral wounds. Each lozenge combines two active ingredients: chlorhexidine gluconate (3 mg) and tetracaine hydrochloride (0.2 mg). Chlorhexidine acts as an antiseptic, effectively targeting a broad spectrum of pathogens in the oral cavity and pharynx, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. Tetracaine serves as a local anesthetic, providing temporary pain relief by numbing the affected area. The lozenges also contain excipients such as ascorbic acid, ammonium glycyrrhizate, and various flavorings, including poppy, cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant, vanilla, menthol, eucalyptus, thymol, and terpineol. These components not only enhance the taste but also contribute to the soothing effect on the mucous membranes. Drill pastilles are suitable for adults and children aged 6 years and older. The recommended dosage is one lozenge dissolved slowly in the mouth every 2 hours, not exceeding five days of continuous use. Overuse may lead to side effects like digestive discomfort or irritation. The product is manufactured in multiple countries, including France, and is marketed by Pierre Fabre Medicament Production, a French pharmaceutical company specializing in the development and production of prescription and over-the-counter medications. The brand "Drill" was originally created by Pierre Fabre Medicament Production. As of 2026, the ultimate owner company is Pierre Fabre Medicament Production, headquartered in France. There are no known subsidiaries owning the brand locally.
