A small arrow pointing down

Benzocaine 20% Oral Adhesive Paste is a semi-solid formulation specifically designed for oral use. It is dispensed in a tube and provides a thick and viscous consistency that adheres to oral tissues for extended contact. This formulation is often used for the localized treatment of oral conditions such as mouth ulcers, gum inflammation, or oral thrush. It offers targeted relief and protection with convenient application.

This paste is indicated for the treatment of pain associated with sore throat, canker sores, and other minor mouth irritations. It can also be used to relieve pain from minor dental procedures. However, it should not be used for more than 7 days unless directed by a healthcare professional.

Patients should be aware that benzocaine can cause a rare but serious condition called methemoglobinemia, which can be fatal. Symptoms of methemoglobinemia include pale, gray, or blue colored skin, lips, and nail beds; shortness of breath; fatigue; or confusion. If any of these symptoms are experienced, medical attention should be sought immediately.

Benzocaine can also cause allergic reactions, including hives, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat. If any of these symptoms occur, the use of the product should be discontinued and medical attention should be sought immediately.

Patients should also be aware that benzocaine can cause a burning sensation in the mouth or throat. If this occurs, the use of the product should be discontinued and the healthcare provider should be contacted.

Furthermore, benzocaine can interact with other medications, including anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, and certain antibiotics. Therefore, patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are taking before using this product.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
