Benzydamine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with local analgesic and anesthetic properties. It is mainly used for the relief of pain, inflammation, and irritation of the mouth and throat. Benzydamine works by reducing the production of inflammatory substances and by numbing the affected area, which helps ease discomfort. It is commonly available as a mouthwash, spray, lozenge, or topical solution and is often used for conditions such as sore throat, oral ulcers, gingivitis, and inflammation after dental procedures. When used as directed, benzydamine is generally well tolerated.
