Orofar Intensiv 8.75 mg/dose Spray 15 ml – Sore Throat Relief

Indications:
Orofar Intensiv contains flurbiprofen. Flurbiprofen belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which work by changing the way the body responds to pain, inflammation, and high fever.

Orofar Intensiv is used for the short-term relief of throat symptoms—such as pain, irritation, and swelling—and difficulty swallowing in adults aged 18 years and older.

If you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 3 days, you must consult a doctor.

Contraindications:
Do not use Orofar Intensiv if:
- you are allergic (hypersensitive) to flurbiprofen or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine.

Precautions:
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Orofar Intensiv.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility:
Pregnancy:
Oral forms (e.g., tablets) of flurbiprofen can cause adverse reactions in the fetus. It is not known whether the same risk applies to Orofar Intensiv.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you might be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine. Do not use Orofar Intensiv during the last 3 months of pregnancy. If you are in the first 6 months of pregnancy, you should not use Orofar Intensiv unless clearly necessary and recommended by your doctor. If treatment is required during this period, the lowest dose should be used for the shortest possible time.
