What is Numark Sore Throat Spray?

Numark Sore Throat Spray is a soothing spray that helps to ease pain and irritation caused by a sore throat. It gets to work quickly, relieving your pain so your throat can heal in its own time. If you’re looking for a way to ease sore throats in those aged 13 and over, Numark Sore Throat Spray could be exactly what you’re looking for.

 

Why do I have a sore throat?

One of the most common causes of sore throats are viruses, such as a cold or the flu, but there are many other causes of this common condition. Some of the other causes of sore throats include:

How will Numark Sore Throat Spray help to ease my sore throat?

Each dose of Numark Sore Throat Spray contains 1.5mg the active ingredient benzocaine. Benzocaine is a local anaesthetic, which means it works to numb your sore throat fast, easing your irritation as your sore throat heals.
