Topical intraoral benzydamine

Benzydamine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic properties, used for temporary relief of painful inflammatory oral mucosal conditions. Benzydamine formulations include mouthwash, intraoral gel and spray, in concentrations of 0.15 to 1%. Some formulations combine benzydamine with an antiseptic.

Local adverse reactions of benzydamine, such as numbness, burning, erythema and rash, have been occasionally reported. Systemic adverse reactions are uncommon.
