Description

BENZOCAINE belongs to a group of medicines called local anaesthetics used to relieve pain and irritation associated with mouth ulcers, canker sores, mouth irritation, mouth and throat pain, and sore throat. It is also used to relieve pain associated with toothache, sore gums, braces, dentures, and minor dental procedures. 

 

BENZOCAINE contains ‘Benzocaine’ that blocks the pain signals from the nerves to the brain, thereby numbing the area and providing relief from pain.

 

In some cases, BENZOCAINE may cause common side effects such as irritation and tingling sensation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

 

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using BENZOCAINE. Do not use BENZOCAINE in more than recommended doses, or on a large area of skin for a longer duration unless advised by the doctor. BENZOCAINE is not recommended for children below 2 years. Consult your doctor if your condition does not improve despite using BENZOCAINE for a week.
