A recent clinical study conducted by the UERM Memorial Medical Center Research team has demonstrated that Difflam®, a locally-available antiseptic throat lozenge containing generic Benzydamine HCl + Cetylpyridinium Cl, provides significant relief for individuals suffering from COVID-19 sore throat. The study, led by Dr. Jennifer M. Nailes, MD, MSPH, Vice-President for Research at UERMMMC, aimed to assess the real-world effectiveness of Difflam® antiseptic lozenges in treating throat pain among COVID-19 patients under routine medical practice conditions.
The in vivo study focused on Filipino patients who had tested positive for COVID-19 and experienced sore throat as a symptom. Notably, participants reported accelerated recovery and substantial relief from the discomfort associated with this common symptom after using Difflam® antiseptic lozenges containing Benzydamine HCl + Cetylpyridinium Cl. These findings further reinforce the brand’s reputation as the most prescribed sore throat brand by doctors, according to IQVIA PMDI Data MAT 2022.
