Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Benzocaine 20% Oral Mouth Rinse is a specially formulated liquid designed for oral use. It is primarily used for therapeutic purposes, including the treatment of various oral conditions. Additionally, it provides soothing relief for oral irritations, making it a suitable choice for patients suffering from mouth ulcers, sore gums, or other similar conditions.

The active ingredient in this formulation, Benzocaine, is a local anesthetic. It works by blocking nerve signals in your body, thereby numbing the area and providing temporary relief from pain or discomfort. When used as a mouth rinse, Benzocaine can effectively alleviate pain caused by conditions such as mouth sores, teething pain, and irritation of the mouth and gums. It is important to note that this mouth rinse should be used by swishing and spitting out, without swallowing, as directed by a healthcare professional.

Therefore, it should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include other medications or dental procedures. As with any medication, potential side effects and contraindications should be considered. Patients with a known hypersensitivity to ester local anesthetics or other components of the product should not use this formulation.

For patients, it's important to use this medication exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not swallow the rinse, and avoid eating or drinking for at least one hour after use to allow the medication to fully work. If your symptoms do not improve, or if they worsen, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

If you have any questions about Benzocaine 20% Oral Mouth Rinse, or if you need further information about its use and potential side effects, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to assist you.

Drug Interactions

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Benzocaine 20% Oral Mouth Rinse works by utilizing the local anesthetic properties of Benzocaine, a commonly used topical pain reliever. Benzocaine works by blocking nerve signals in your body, specifically those that transmit pain sensations. When used in an oral rinse, it provides a numbing effect in the area it comes into contact with, which in this case, is the oral cavity.

The 20% concentration of Benzocaine in this formulation is potent enough to provide significant relief from pain and discomfort associated with various oral conditions. The numbing effect of Benzocaine can last for a considerable period, providing long-lasting relief.

Furthermore, the liquid formulation of this product allows for easy application and ensures that the medication is evenly distributed throughout the oral cavity. This is particularly beneficial in treating widespread oral conditions or when the exact source of pain is difficult to pinpoint. The rinse is designed to be swished around the mouth and then spit out, ensuring that the entire oral cavity is treated without the medication being ingested.

It's important to note that while Benzocaine provides relief from pain and discomfort, it does not treat the underlying cause of these symptoms. Therefore, it's crucial to seek professional medical advice if symptoms persist or worsen despite using this product. This product should be used as directed by a healthcare professional to ensure its safety and effectiveness.

If you have any questions about Benzocaine 20% Oral Mouth Rinse, or if you need further information on how to use this product, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

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.
