Difflam is New Zealand’s #1 pharmacy throat brand* and is available through pharmacies and supermarkets nationwide. In New Zealand, Difflam is represented by Radiant Health Ltd, an iNova Pharmaceuticals Group company.

Our Story: More Than 40 Years of Sore Throat Expertise
For more than 40 years, Difflam has developed sore throat and mouth products that combine healthcare experience with an understanding of consumers’ everyday needs.
Over that time, the brand has grown to offer a broad portfolio of products across different formats, including soothing drops and throat, pops, herbal lozenges, medicated lozenges, sore throat sprays, gargles, solutions and even a mouth gel. This range gives consumers greater choice, recognising that not every sore throat feels the same and that different symptoms and circumstances may call for different types of products.
Our Range: Targeted Relief for Different Sore Throat Needs
In the Difflam range, each product has its own formulation, purpose and directions for use, so always read the label and select a product appropriate for your needs.
Drops & Lozenges
The Difflam range includes soothing drops and medicated lozenges for different throat symptoms. With a variety of formulations, pack sizes and flavours available, consumers can choose an option suited to their symptoms and preferences.
Sore Throat Sprays
Difflam sore throat sprays provide a convenient format for applying the product directly to the throat for targeted relief. Our range includes two anti-inflammatory sprays and one spray that is combined with an anaesthetic, each with its own specific benefits.
Gargles & Solutions
Difflam gargles and solutions provide more options for sore throats and mouths. The range includes anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and iodine-based antibacterial products, each with its own approved use, directions and precautions.
Mouth Gel
Difflam Mouth Gel is designed for application inside the mouth and offers fast soothing relief for painful, mouth ulcers and sore gums. It is also ideal for inflammation or irritations of the cheeks, lips or tongue. Always refer to the individual product information to confirm whether it is suitable for your needs.
Kids Soothing Throat Pops
Difflam Kids Soothing Throat Pops provide a child-friendly format for soothing dry, tickly throats. Our Kids range includes Manuka Honey and Strawberry varieties. Check the product information, including the applicable age guidance and directions, before use.
Herbal Throat Lozenges
The Difflam Herbals range includes Difflam Herbals Throat + Nose + Chest Lozenges in Honey Lemon Menthol flavour.
The Difflam Difference
Throat symptoms can differ from person to person. They may also change over time, from the first signs of a dry, tickly throat to more painful, “razor-blade” throat soreness.
The Difflam difference is choice. Rather than relying on one product or format for every kind of sore throat, Difflam offers a broad range of options for different symptoms, preferences and stages.
Depending on the product selected, the Difflam range can provide:
- Soothing options for dry or tickly throats
- Medicated Lozenges for sore throat pain and discomfort
- Sprays for direct application to the painful sore throat
- Gargles and solutions for throat pain
- Mouth gel for painful, inflamed conditions of the mouth
- Child-friendly soothing throat pops
- Herbal throat options
Because every formulation is different, it is important to review the individual product information and choose the most appropriate option for your needs.
The Difflam website also provides practical advice and a “Help-me-choose” tool to help consumers understand the range.

Difflam is dedicated to helping consumers access clear, easy to understand information about its products and their appropriate use.
