Difflam is unlikely to cause adverse systemic effects, even if accidental ingestion should occur. No special measures are required. Intoxication is only expected in case of accidental ingestion of large quantities of benzydamine ( > 300 mg) If any type of vaccine is due to be given at the same time as VARIVAX, your doctor or health care professional will advise you whether this can be given or not. VARIVAX may be given at the same time as the following routine childhood vaccinations: measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR), vaccines against Haemophilus influenza type b, hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough) and polio vaccine that is given by mouth. High-dose corticosteroids, such as prednisolone (this vaccine should not be given until at least three months after stopping treatment with high doses of corticosteroids taken by mouth or injection) • Immunosuppressants The spots form a scab.

It's rare for anyone to have a serious allergic reaction to the flu vaccine. If they do, it usually happens within minutes. The indazole analogue benzydamine has physicochemical properties and pharmacological activities which differ from those of the aspirin-like NSAIDs. Unlike aspirin-like NSAIDs which are acids or metabolised to acids, benzydamine is a weak base. In further contrast, benzydamine is a weak inhibitor of the prostaglandin synthesis. Only at concentration of 1mM and above benzydamine effectively inhibits cyclooxygenase and lipooxygenase enzyme activity. It mostly exerts its effects through inhibition of the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines including tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) without significantly affecting other pro-inflammatory (IL-6 and 8) or anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, IL-1 receptor antagonist). Further mechanisms of action are hypothesised including the inhibition of the oxidative burst of neutrophils as well as membrane stabilisation as demonstrated by the inhibition of granule release from neutrophils and the stabilization of lysosomes. The local anaesthetic activity of the compound has been related to an interaction with cationic channelsPlease consult your pharmacist or doctor before using this medicine if you are currently pregnant, likely to get pregnant or breastfeeding.
