SECTION_START: Overview
What is Strefen Cherry and Mint Flavour Spray?
The active ingredient (which makes Strefen Spray work) is Flurbiprofen. It belongs to a group of medicines known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs provide relief by changing the body&rsquo;s response to pain, swelling, and high temperature. Strefen oromucosal spray is used for the short-term relief of symptoms of acute sore throat such as throat pain and soreness in adults. Strefen Spray can provide relief from 5 minutes and for up to 6 hours.

How to use Strefen Cherry and Mint Flavour Oromucosal &nbsp;Spray
Always use this medicine exactly as described in this last or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Adults aged 18 years and older:
One dose of 3 sprays to the back of the throat every 3-6 hours as required, up to a maximum of 5&nbsp;doses in a 24 hour period. One dose (3 sprays) contains 8.75 mg of Flurbiprofen.
Do not give this medicine to children or adolescents under 18 years.
For oromucosal use only. Spray at the back of the throat only. Do not inhale while spraying. &nbsp;Do not take more than 5 doses (15 sprays)in 24 hours. This medicine is for short-term use only. The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest duration necessary to relieve symptoms. If you have an infection, consult a doctor or pharmacist without delay if symptoms (such as fever and pain) persist or worsen (see section 2). If mouth irritation occurs, flurbiprofen treatment should be withdrawn. Do not use this medicine for more than 3 days unless instructed to do so by your doctor. If you do not get better, you get worse, or if new symptoms occur, talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
If you take more than you should, you may feel drowsy or nauseous. You should seek immediate medical advice in the event of an overdose, even if you feel well.
Priming the pump When using the pump for the first time(or after storage for a long period of time) you must first prime the pump. Point the nozzle away from you and spray a minimum of four times until a consistent mist is produced. The pump is then primed and ready for use. If the product is not used for a period of time, point the nozzle away from you and spray a minimum of once ensuring a consistent mist is produced. Always ensure a consistent mist is produced before doing the product.
Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.

Infections Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may hide signs of infections such as fever and pain. This may delay appropriate treatment of infection, which may lead to an increased risk of complications. If you take this medicine while you have an infection and your symptoms of the infection persist or worsen, consult a doctor or pharmacist without delay.
Driving and using machines No studies on the effects on the ability to drive and use of machines have been performed. However, dizziness and visual disturbances are possible side effects after taking NSAIDs. If affected, do not drive or operate machinery.
