What is it and what is it used for?
Tantum Verde oral mucosa spray is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with analgesic properties, meaning it acts against pain and inflammation of the throat, mouth, and gums. Tantum Verde oral mucosa spray also has disinfectant properties and a moderate surface anesthetic effect.

Tantum Verde oral mucosa spray is used to treat the symptoms of inflammation and irritation, including those associated with pain in the throat, mouth and gums (e.g. gingivitis, stomatitis, pharyngitis), even following conservative or extractive dental therapy (e.g. caries treatment or tooth extraction).

Tantum Verde oral mucosa spray is particularly indicated for patients unable to gargle.
