Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics.
Benzydamine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and antiexudative properties.
In clinical studies, benzydamine has been shown to be effective in relieving symptoms associated with localized irritant pathologies in the oral cavity and pharynx. In addition, benzydamine has anti-inflammatory and local analgesic effects, and has a local anesthetic effect on the oral mucosa.
Pharmacokinetics.
The fact of absorption through the mucous membrane of the oral cavity and pharynx has been proven by the presence of measurable amounts of benzydamine in human blood plasma. However, this is not sufficient to demonstrate any systemic pharmacological effect. Excretion occurs mainly in the urine, mainly in the form of inactive metabolites or conjugates.
It has been shown that topical application achieves the accumulation of effective concentrations of benzydamine in inflamed tissues due to its ability to penetrate the mucous membrane.
Indication
Symptomatic treatment of irritations and inflammations of the oropharynx; pain caused by gingivitis, stomatitis, pharyngitis; in dentistry after tooth extraction or for prophylactic purposes.
Contraindication

Application features
If sensitivity occurs during long-term use, treatment should be discontinued and a doctor should be consulted to prescribe appropriate treatment.
In some patients, buccal/pharyngeal ulcers may be due to serious pathological processes. Therefore, patients whose symptoms worsen or do not improve within 3 days, or who develop a fever or other symptoms, should seek advice from a general practitioner or dentist as appropriate.
Benzydamine is not recommended for use in patients with hypersensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid or other NSAIDs.
